Disable Sonos One Alexa from playing a sound when I say "Alexa"

Totally agree with this, the sound is offputting when you’re thinking how to frame a question and also hinders Alexa

I fully agree with the comments regarding the response tone. It is most annoying, for all the reasons given by the responders to this topic. As my pair of Sonos one’s are placed high in the room, I am unable to see any of the LED’s on top. An option to switch the tone off would be fine but, in my case a modified tone, shorter, quieter, with attenuated lower frequencies, would be just fine. Tried a HomePod but, came back to two Sonos ones.

I strongly agree. I really want to turn off the acknowledgement tone!

Just bought the play one and that tone is immediately annoying enough for me to search on how to disable it. Please can we have an update Sonos?

Adding my name also to either change or mute/disable the incredibly annoying response chime. Hard to believe that the finished product went out like this!

Since the Sonos One doesn't have the light ring that you might find on the Echo Dot, the tone was enabled so that you know when the Sonos One heard you and when it's communicating with the cloud. There isn't a way to turn that off, but I'll pass on your request to the team for you.

Thanks for reaching out!

Please Please Please - give us a way to bring an end to the request sound ... there is absolutely no need for this - AND tell me how to disable Alexa altogether (I'll go back to using a dot for Alexa functions - Sonos One can be a speaker-only until you offer a fix). Honestly - - I've gone all-in with Alexa - but I CANNOT recommend the Sonos One until the user has control over this nuisance

You're actually not far off there (in electronics/app terms, where most updates from other vendors come in days). I just posted this elsewhere, but it may help you to be aware too.. Sonos works very slowly. What would take other apps a week to push out an update takes many months, and there are rarely if ever any status updates. I don't know if they just have very small teams or it's due to having to do a lot of hardware testing, but I've learned to just check the forum when a new software update comes out. Don't check more than once a month. In the end, they usually create a good result, so I am begrudgingly patient.

Just an example. Casting directly from the Spotify app works awesome now. But it took maybe 2 years for it to be released from when Spotify put out the capability. Definitely more than 1.

The One will probably be even worse in this respect since Sonos isn't in control of the smart aspect; Amazon is.

I'm extremely impatient, but all I can say is be patient. There isn't really a better ecosystem out there if you value sound quality.

Interestingly, (well it seemed that way to me), those of us using an echo dot can already choose whether or not to have it make a sound after she hears her name and /or after you've finished speaking.

Yeah, same with Echo. But it's yet another Alexa capability missing from One.
