Does it beep? It seems that many modern toasters make annoying and unnecessary sounds with no way to turn them off.

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.

The toaster does have an alarm. No, it's not very loud. It's works OK. Probably not worth the money.

No. It doesn't beep when it turns on or off. Just saw someone else's answer. If it does beep it isn't very loud...I have never heard it.

Megan: You should not have a high pitched noise when you plug it in. I would exchange it. I have the four slice version and like it very much. It does a better job of toasting than any toaster I have had before. I especially like the bagel setting and my husband like the reheat setting. We have not had a reason to use the defrost setting. The count down is especially helpful when making eggs to go with the toast, as everything is timed to be down perfectly.

No, it does not......oops sorry, I see how the other reviewer answered. I was looking at feature buttons & the manual and did not see this mentioned....but they are correct once the toast pops up the heating elements do turn off.

No. It does not beep. I use setting number 2 which takes only 2 1/2 minutes to toast. Occasionally I use setting 3 which is still only 3 1/4 minutes.

No, I don't know how to turn it off. It's the only annoying thing about the machine. I LOVE it! But the loud beeping is annoying. I have owned the machine over a month, I ignore it now.

Not that I am aware of, but I have never been bothered by the beeping. It takes an average of 3hrs25min to get through a loaf of bread, so I am generally in another room when it beeps, so I have found the volume very helpful. Also it only has three times it beeps in that entire 3hrs and 25min, so you can hardly say that is excessive.

It beeps 3 times, and is no softer or louder then any other microwave. If you forget something it beeps every 30 seconds or so to remind you. I don't find it annoying.

Frankly, I have never heard mine "beep"! I use virtually none of the functions except the H.R. monitor, so I don't know if any other uses would produce a "beep".

Yes, it beeps when you set each setting.For example, once you press a preset button like 'Toast', 'Bake' etc..., then on heat setting and then on time setting.You can rotate the knob as much as you want back and forth but when you press it to set, it beeps once.Also, it beeps few times when pre-heat is done, few minutes or a minute before cooking is done and then when it's done.And, no you cannot change noise volume.Also, it's not noise. Why anyone would consider a beep from oven or microwave NOISE is over my head.It's NOT noise but a needed feature.But, it's not an issue so don't make it a big deal like bunch of others do here.I actually like it since it tells me my settings are being set.

It does have a beeping or to be option. It goes off for quite awhile...and if you do not acknowledge it (press the confirm button), it will go off again a few minutes later.

It does not beep. It also doesn't have an automatic shutoff. It's pretty basic and that's why it's so great. And IT STAYS CLEAN (no coffee stains).

I've also had this issue...it's very annoying, those loud beeps as soon as you turn it on. I'd love to know if this can be remedied as well!

It does beep, but only twice and I don't find it annoying. Helps me actually if I've gotten busy doing something else. I really like this toaster.
