Bloody bleeping……….!

grumppa

DD's car beeps twice whenever she drives past our local statue of Churchill.

My fridge beeps if the door is open more than 10 seconds. I only want to walk over to the coffee machine with my milk and return it, but the fridge says otherwise.

My car is a bit of a grump.
It loves the sound of its own voice and is forever telling me off 🙄.

At last - I thought it was just me being driven to insanity by the endless bleeps!!! It is quite handy to know when the washing machine or tumble dryer has finished its cycle but for heaven's sake allow me enough time to get up and into the laundry room!! Don't nag! My upright freezer is the worst culprit - open door, open drawer and start to ferret for whatever and off it goes - relentless. I frequently end up not finding what I wanted, as I can't stand the noise!!

We turned our car bleeps off.

😱😱😱😱😱

HOW??.

Looked in the manual or whatever they call it and fiddled a lot with all the buttons.

I’m glad I’m not the only one! Washing machine, dishwasher and freezer in this house! Car makes a horrible noise if I’m a (little) over the speed limit! 🙄

I think the reason it irritates is because it has a similar effect to a person continually nagging us to do something that we are quite aware of but will get round to in our own time.

My cat doesn't beep, but his continuous elongated meows when he wants food has the same effect.

Like Dickens we have the cat here too!

Nothing much else beebs, fridge if left open for about 20 seconds? - pleanty of time to use the milk and put back

oh, and the landline phone when it needs charging, but that's often left on the charger anyway.

Mine all switch back on again automatically when you switch on the engine, and the warnings have different instructions on the menu. I’ve mastered the auto correction facility which tries to steer you back in line as that is the most annoying - but it is still a Nanny.

Agree! Far too many bleeps. Weve had this car for 2years and I was thrilled I managed to stop various bleeps. It has just been in for a service and mot and said bleeps are all back so I’m back to working my way through menu system when I feel mentally ready.

I love my induction hob- except for the way it beeps at me so often. If I accidently lean on it, it beeps, when I wipe it down with a damp cloth it beeps, when I put something on it whilst it is off, it beeps. Keep telling it to shut up , . but it takes absolutely no notice of me. My fridge bleeps at me whilst I am trying to put my shopping away Sadly, the bottom freezer part of it does NOT bleep, wish it would do so when I do not shut the door properly.

The worse beep is when the battery in the smoke alarm has gone. Especially as I can't reach the dam things. I wouldn't mind but mine are wired into the electric didn't know they had back up battery until one beeped and then a week later the other one did it . 🔊🔊🔊🔊

Only two things that bleep in my house,the microwave which is new, all other appliances are twenty years old or more. The second thing is my sensor reader which bleeps when my blood sugar is low.Thats fine during the day but when it bleeps during the night and wakes you from a deep sleep and you have to eat 4 or 5 jelly babies while still half asleep and then bleeps again twenty minutes later because the jelly babies haven't worked yet..It drives me daft.

Mine does as well, it’s really useful as DH insists that he shuts it properly!

Oh yes- we too have a beeping kitchen & utility 🙄

And now here all the new cars beep when they are being reversed!

It was bad enough when only lorries beeped, but now!

Even my tinnitus beeps !

DS has a van on hire to help us with our move. It was driving us mad with its beeps. It beeped if he was only a mile over the speed limit, it beeped if he crossed a white line and, worst of all it beeped if there was any deviation in the steering - like a little wiggle to avoid a pothole, it would play a little tune and the screen would say 'feeling tired? take a rest'. There were a lot of potholes on the route we were driving. The 'are your tired?' routine was driving us nuts. DS was not tired, just trying to avoid ruining the suspension of heavily loaded van on one of the many potholes in the road.

When I set the timer on my cooker it bleeps helpfully loudly but I hate the sound. Over the years a few times I’ve been held up and thought I’d see if it ever stops but after several minutes I can bear it no longer.

I like the fact that my car bleeps if I leave the lights on. In my early driving years I was regularly guilty of leaving them on, especially if I srt of in the dark morning and arrived in the light, resulting in regular flat batteries.
I understand that bleeping when you don't have your seatbelt on is a safety feature but when the 'front seat passenger' is a heavy bag of groceries being delivered to a food bank client it is seriously annoying!
My car is over 17 years old so I guess my next one may have all sorts of unnecessary bleeps.

It's the birds imitating car alarms & mobile phones among other things that gets me, It wakes me up & I look out the window at my car but nothings happening.

We have a Honda Jazz that is neurotic!

I had a fiat that bleeped at so many things, escalating. Mr I often said oh no, it’s going all Italian again.

Apologies, no offence intended 🚘🚗🚙

The beeps do not bother me, and most in the car can be turned off, but my Yaris has spells where I get a loud boinnngg! sound. The main dealer has no idea.
It does not seem to be related to any of the usual ideas, given that it goes off at the corner of my residential street.

My daughters washing machine plays Shuberts Trout concerto when it's finished. Charming at first,super irritating when played over and over. My daughters machine is never cold.

I have my computer and tablet on silent. We never use our house alarm as to be frank who pays any attention? So it was annoying when the house alarm made a noise - it was the battery backup that was warning us we needed to change it.
