Why oh WHY wouldn't they make the tones optional?! They're so loud

Just stuff a screwdriver or something through the speaker area and pray there's nothing critical close.

You mean that music thing that plays when the cycle is done? You can turn that off, at least on mine, I could. If I remember well, one of the buttons to select the cycle temperature or spin or something has a little symbol of a speaker next to it. You have to press and hold that button for several seconds. Works on both the washer and dryer.

They took that button away. I actually had Samsung come out to disable the sound - they couldn’t.

They took it away? I've got a slightly older front load (because they're better) and that tone would absolutely drive me insane if I couldn't turn it off.

Here I am, rocking back and forth in my padded, freshly laundered cell.

Honestly I could give quite the rant about noise pollution. I don’t understand homes where people let the smoke detectors beep endlessly. I take the batteries out of most electronic toys. The song the washer and dryer plays is so long - like 20 seconds long - and it gets stuck in your head. I’d have loved to disable it but the repairman said it would void the warranty to try. Absurdly un-user friendly to take away the mute button.
