can the song be turned off? how loud is the sound? I want to have this in the office.

If you are talking about the short tune the machine plays when the water temperature has reached its level, I don't think it can be turned off. I find the sound to be loud enough to clearly hear in the next room, but it is short and does not repeat once the temperature has reached its level.

Only for when it's done boiling and timer setting. Operating the control panel will still cause beeps, it's similar to using a phone with sound on at a medium-high level.Dispensing requires two buttons, thus two beeps. I wish it was just one, but the 2-step feature is a safety precaution.

The sound can be changed from a series of beeps to a tune. I'm not sure if it can be turned off. I believe that the sound is less annoying than the average cellphone.

Yes, there are three choices I believe and one of them is "none" which I currently use. The medium tone isn't too bad but the musical tone would probably be considered disruptive in an office environment.

You have three choices, including "silent". One is the "melody", second is "beeps" and finally, "silent". Your manual will show how to do sounds. (The melody isn't very loud and lasts a short time) I hope that helps. The machine is good to own.

No, there is no option to silence the music. You seldom notice it after the first thousand times. The usefulness of the boiler far outweighs the short sound. If mine stopped working, I would immediately buy another.

I don't have the manual with me, so I don't know if the song can be turned off. It's not loud at all. It's a cute and short classic peace.

You can turn it off however it is really a piece of junk and don't recommend you to buy it. It is made in China if that tells you anything.

Hi Tammy. There is an on off button on the headset. It actually turns off the unit, so you would not continue to hear your customer, but I do use it for muting if it's brief. Hope that helps.

Yes the volume can be turned off on any setting or there is an option where there is no volume and it cycles through all the colors. The only issue is that you have to turn the volume all the way up to turn it off.

Yes, the sound can be turned off. There is a "mute" button. Can not be turned "down or up", but can be turned off.

Yes you can turn the sound off. Bought this for the Wife to use in bed late in the nights.

It can be played but it is barely audible. I sent mine back because of that. Good question.

The loudness is about a 2, someone about 10ft away probably would only hear a slight humming sound. I just asked my coworker that works about 15ft away and he says that with the AC and other noise going on in the office, he can't hear it at all (FYI, our office is really quiet.) And the sound that it makes is not obnoxious at all. Its definitely just the sound of a little tiny motor humming and wouldn't distract me from work even without my headphones on. Hope this helps. Good luck on your wedding and congratulations on getting married. =)

Not really, I have it at my desk and it gives off a light pishhh noise but I doubt others would hear it.

I have mine under the dining room table on carpet. I do not have to change TV volume. It is not loud,, but I can tell when someone has turned it on. It is more like white noise and depends on the current office noise level.

It is much too noisey to be used at work. Even if you had an office and shut the door you would probably hear it.

It plays pretty loud. The only way to control the volume on the speaker is through the computer or bluetooth device that you have it hooked up to. I don't really like that about the speaker because it plays way to loud for me even when I have the computer or bluetooth device volume down to almost nothing. I work in an office and can't have my volume that loud. I would much rather have a speaker that I can control the volume on the actual unit. But the sound quality is really good and the battery last for a very long time. I can get anywhere from 3 to 4 1/2 days out of one charge and within a few hours is it fully charged again.

I'm curious about the noise level in a quiet office environment too. I'm sure it wouldn't interrupt anyone, but would everyone in the vicinity hear the sounds it makes while operating?

Hi adrian, I looked through the owner's manual and it has a setting that is a timer to turn off your music.

It is noisy to distraction. I don't recommend it for cubicle use. You will get complaints from neighbors.

I haven't tried it myself, but the instruction manual says the sounds can be set to turn off after 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes.

The sound level may be too high if you are working in a cube environment. It would be fine in an office with a closed door. I love this product. I hope it works for you too.
