It does beep several times--maybe five or 6 consecutively and it is fairly loud but nothing extreme. It does not seem any louder than any other microwave I've had, just beeps a few more times. All other factors about this oven are very good--heats very quickly and evenly, quiet operation, so the beeps do not bother me at all.

The beeps are not loud or annoying. I think that there are five beeps... after each brew cycle. HINT: I make ten cups each time I brew. Then, I have hot coffee on day one, warm coffee on day two and cool coffee on day 3. One clean-up; that's it!. I microwave to heat up on days 2 and 3. If you add cream after day one to the carafe, then refrigerate after adding the creamer.

Are you getting beeping from the unit if so how many in a 30-45 second time frame

I don't think the beeps are too loud. They seem to be the same volume as our toaster oven. No annoying reminder beeps!

Just 2 beeps, but if you are going to use it for kids with special needs, I would not count on kids hearing those beeps.

It has 5 beeps, but it is not annoying. There far more things than a micro wave beeping, that are annoying.

IMPORTANT: For those out there that do not like a loud beep. You can turn it off. It's in the manual. At the same time push and hold the "Toast" & "Bagel" buttons for 5 seconds. This will deactivate the beeping. Unfortunately, it now does not beep at the end of a cooking cycle either. It does beep a lot, but not a huge deal for us. However, if you do have a need for silence, it is easy to turn the beeping off. It's just as easy to turn it back on - hold the toast and bagel buttons again for 5 seconds and it's beeping again. Hope this helps someone out there!

It does beep when it's done. There are no instructions on silencing the beep. Sorry. I like it telling me when it's done.

Yes it does beep when you enter your code but not when it opens, or if you don't want to enter a code, there are a pair of keys that comes with so that you can open without the use of a code. There's no setting on how to silence the beeping, instructions/manual is short and simple on how to set up your code. Hopefully this helps :-)

It beeps only once, but I find the beep much too loud! We live in a small condo and I avoid toasting if someone is asleep. The toaster is beautiful and works well. If only we could lower the decibels...

It has 5 short beeps @ 2000Hz, similar to most microwaves. (If you want to know what 2000Hz sounds like, Search for the AudioNotch website and click on Tuner at the very bottom. Enter 2000 in the Hz field and hit play.) The sound is loud enough to hear through our french doors when they're closed at about 20 feet away. The only thing I would have liked is if it had a reminder beep that would continue just in case you forgot about it or didn't hear it the first time. Other than that, I love it.

I have only let it go for about 5 min. after the timer went off. It beeps loudly.

It is loud but not so you can hear it on a different floor. If it was that loud I would not want it. When I go to an area that is far away I TAKE IT WITH ME TO THAT AREA. The unit is light so there is no problem. It beeps for about 30 seconds before it shuts off.

The beep is a bit loud, but I found it really easy to open the console and shove a little piece of tape into the beeper. Now it's more tolerable. Would be nice if there was a way to disable the beep all together though.

When it's on mute, it will beep intermittently to tell you. When it's not on mute, no beep. It's about every 10 seconds. It can be a little tricky since a volume adjustment causes it to beep in response to a volume change as well. A few seconds later, if you don't hear the mute beep, you know you didn't mute it.

Hi Jeff The voice is loud. As per the manufacturer, it is set at the same level as the beeps (85db). It is part of the audible warning system. As a comparison, a typical household vacuum cleaner emits 70db. Hope this helps. Regards Mark

It's pretty loud. I can hear it in other rooms as long as there is no real loud back round noise. It beeps for a pretty good while, but not in defitnilty. I was looking for a timer that was close to the one from Pampered Chef. This was as close as I could get. This one though is louder. Hope this helps!
