Does it make an audible noise when toast is ready? I hope not!

We have a 4 slice toaster, not a 2 slice but the four slice just pops up no other noise

No, it doesn't. But I find now that the toaster only toasts one side of the bread in each slot, and you have to pop the bread up and turn it to toast both sides. So, my advice? Don't buy this piece of junk.

No noise. It just pops up, but nothing extraordinary happens. There is no beep or anything like that. Kim

On the dot. Just FYI toasting takes awhile and timer is loud. I was very disappointed on toasting function. Hint: start your toast before your eggs or what ever else your cooking.

No, a blue light does go on however and goes off when the toast is done. You do hear easily hear the toast pop up also.

I just got mine in the mail and I can assure you that it sounds NOTHING like a door chime. The beep mode sounds like our microwave beeping to let us know that our food is done cooking. We don't have any problem hearing it. The alarm is very loud and sounds like a high pitched siren.

Nope. But like every other modern toaster, it does have other issues. Biggest design flaw - to pop the toast early, you have to turn the "darkness" knob all the way to the left. If the toast isn't done yet, it's hard to return to your original setting as the knob has no markings! I've also tried several over the past few years, and nothing - - reviews notwithstanding - - seems to work very well these days.

Yes. It's a soft ticking sound, but you can hear it. The toaster always has a ticking sound but if you use the oven without the timer, there is no ticking sound (the heating elements do make a soft humming sound).

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...

Yes. You set how dark you want the toast on a scale from 1 - 8and a vertical set on bars will decrease until only 1 is left. Thenit will beep a couple times before popping up.

No, it doesn't beep. I've also found that I need to set lower temperatures than I did using my previous toaster.

No it doesn't beep when it's done. The water heating/brew cycle is fairly loud.

It beeps when you push the buttons and when it's preheated and when it's done. I don't know how you would make the noise lower or frankly why it's such a big deal. It's certainly not a deal breaker for me. I don't mind because it beeps as an alert. You will hear it and isn't that the point? :)

No - it does not. Plus it beeps when the griddle is ready and again when the waffles are done.

Lol. I have wondered the same thing. It thinks it's a smoke detector or must warn the neighborhood the toast is ready.

It toasts as fast as any other toaster I have owned. The time is determined by how dark you want the toast to be. There is an indictor that flashes along a bar to allow you to know how close to being finished in the toast cycle. The toaster is silent except that it beeps when the toast is done. I like it a lot.

Mine does too! It stops making the noise when it's toasting, and will start to make it again when it stops. It sounds like it's coming from the LED display. It's not very loud, but it's surprisingly incredibly annoying.

I believe you just press off and it pops. I have to say, I had the last model of this toaster and it was so much better. This one toasts unevenly and it beeps when the toaster is done like 3 times

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