Is there an audible signal when the toast pops up, and if so, how loud and long might it be? Current toaster sounds like a smoke detector.

If you're quiet, you can hear the sound of the toast popping up. If you've turned the control up too high you will get the scent of burnt toast warning you to use the eject button.

I have 4 slice version of this and there is no signal, just the pop of the release springs.

No bells or whistles on this toaster. There is simply a click or pop sound as the toasting finishes and bread comes up.

There are no sounds. Just the noise of the toast popping up. Works perfectly so far.

I am sorry, but I cannot help with this. I bought this toaster over as a gift for someone not in my household.

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.

There are, I believe, 1 quick beeps that are just an alert which I do not find annoying. If you are standing over the toaster waiting for your food you will know when it is done and that part may seem annoying. However, ifyou are multitasking and need to be in another room for a short period of time, I find the beep a helpful reminder.

No. I also have found it to be very light and flimsy. The toast does not always pop up, it just turns off. I'd look a little more.

I no longer have this toaster. It is a fire hazard and I got a refund from black and decker. Others have had similar issues. Find another.

When the toast is done the noise it makes is not loud at all. You can easily miss it when the toast is ready.

. I have NO IDEA what you are looking at because ... the picture & my toaster &gt;&gt; http://www.amazon.com/T-fal-TT7461002A-4-Slice-Toaster-Function/dp/B000F0BYRS/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t &lt;&lt; Has 2 buttons. There is no click or anything when I press my toaster buttons but they do light up different. The BAGEL function is to toast only on the one side of the bagels I really don't ever use this cuz I don't like soft on one side / crispy on the other. and All of the settings defrost -- it is heat after all. BUT that said.. the DEFROST button DOES light or not depending on pressing or not. Remember... the "Defrost" & "Bagel" buttons do NOT make noise and you can't FEEL the click when you press either of these buttons.. I know this cuz I JUST CHECKED. I never use them... I just like the toaster shape & way the toast tilts out so I can have it in a appliance garage without taking it out all the way. .

No beep that I have heard. It has a red light that indicates it is on. It does make a light clicking noise when it is through toasting and it brings the bread up but have yet to hear any beeps. Can't imagine that the noise it makes should alarm your dog.

I also can hear it from another room. It has a middle to high frequency, which helps. By way of comparison, I *cannot* hear my oven alarm which is raspy and lower pitched unless I am nearby.

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.

I think most alarms make a slight clicking sound, which is usually all it takes to wake up my wife, just before the alarm starts. I never notice it until I tried to figure out how on Earth my wife managed to wake up in anticipation of the alarm. If on the other hand it is a loud clicking noise that sounds like a defect. The manufacturer's customer service can provide the best answer and a warranty replacement if what you are hearing is a defect. A lot of people over 30 have already lost significant hearing, so you can't go only based on people who say they can't hear a click. I haven't noticed it, but I am not that observant either.

I have the two slice one, when you press lets say bagel, the bagel button will come on. Must be a defect I am sure when you press toast there should be a blue light that tells you what you are toasting..as in reheat the blue light comes on. Guess you will have to send it back..

Turn the toaster over and you will notice clips where the cord slides under thereby bringing the cord out the back. Agree it is an odd feature - really didn't notice before your question.

No beeps. It is a quite, doesn't make a lot of noise when the toast pops up either.

Not an annoying, loud beep at all. It is a single beep as the toast is rising; it is not continuous or repetitive.
