A:Answer I dont think its that loud, my Panasonic i had before was loud drawn out beep We live in a duplex and this is not that loud for the neighbors to hear. We asked them and they didnt hear anything. I think its a pleasant sound and it doesnt last that long anyways. I appreciate that i can hear it if i am the other room and will do a reminder if i forget to get the food out but then thats it, it wont keep doing it. I can think of a lot more things that are noisy that are more annoying like running the vac cleaner. So my opionion, nah i think its fine.
