Do you know if you can totally silence the beeper? Does it make loud beeping sound when it is done?

Makes one gentle beep. I don't find it too intrusive. Hope you like it, I love mine. Bought it because a vacation house I rented had one.

I love it no matter what, my first one was purchased almost 30 years ago, and still working. It doesn't look the same but it still beeps

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.

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!

I believe it only beeps if the unit has detected a surge. Once the surge clears and the unit is functioning properly, it should not continue beeping. The 3 units that I have do not continuously beep as you describe and there have been several brownouts in my neighborhood. Make sure you see a green light under the red one. If not, there's no surge protection and that could be why its beeping. I would contact Customer Service and verify that you didn't receive a bad unit.

No and it is annoying that the beep is so low. If I'm not in the kitchen, I set a portable timer.

No, I can't. It isn't noisy to an unbearable extent. If food is not taken out, the beeper will remind you every a short while, it won't beeping all the time.

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.

I'm sorry but I checked tell instruction manual and there is nothing about the beeping. Mine is loud enough to hear even in the next room with noises in the background.

From what I gather the tones were louder in the past. This is very quiet--you can't even hear it in another room. I don't think you can actually turn the "It's Done" tones off--they beep five times, but very faintly. With the BrewCentral DC 1200 if you turn the unit off while it was beeping it would silence the alarm; this unit will finish its beeping once started, even if you turn it off, unless you turn it off before the beeping starts, but as I say, it's very faint.

I have to respectfully disagree with the comment from NM Norma. Maybe she has an older or different version of this timer. I have a recent version, approximately one month old, and it beeps non-stop until I hit the reset button. I find this to be a very helpful feature. It's also pretty loud, but not TOO loud. I'm not sure if it would be loud enough to be heard from upstairs, especially if there are a lot of other noises in the house, but the great thing is that it has a belt clip so you can simply take it with you wherever you go. :)

There is a very loud, high pitched beeping when the set time is reached. You won't miss it, I believe you can also turn it off if you need.

The question was about the beeping when powering it on or off, not when you loose power. My unit beeps too when powering it on or off. However, the beeps that mine makes are not loud. Perhaps I have an older or newer model. I have not seen anything in the settings that allow the beep volume to be changed.

I got this and mine made a beeping noise but it wasn't loud at all. Is it defective or ????!

It does not have silent operation mode. It beeps whenever it's being opened.

It beeps when it's done brewing. I don't think it can be turned off... you get used to it.

Yes. It beeps. Not very loud though. I have not seen anything in the instructions where it can be turned off.

Yes, it retains the setting unless you clear it. My problem is the beeper is not loud enough for me. Otherwise, it works great.

It beeps when you plug it in, it beeps when you set it and it beeps when it's done! To my knowledge you cannot adjust the sound level...I too wish you could because the beep is not a pleasant ding, but our family has gotten used to it, so now I don't mind.
