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

I love alexa. My girlfriend does not. The fact that we now hear a noise every time alexa is activated has only boosted her confidence in the fact that alexa is always listening. It should not make that noise when watching a tv show, or when we’re just having standard conversation. Requesting turn off feature as well

+1. Understand the reason and decision. Possible to use the led used for pairing instead? Really annoying for previous user of echo and appreciate any workaround you can provide. Thanks and overall great work!

I agree with the above- please add option to disable sound

Hi Ryan S have you already heard back from the team? Very curious to understand expected timeline to implement. Does not seem to be a very big change but more/less a small software update isn't it?

+1 from me too. There's two problems with the tone:

1. The echos generally don't make a tone (or sometimes make a very soft tone), so it's frustrating to have a different speaking "syntax" in a household where you have some Sonos Ones and some Echos.

2. The beep is so loud that you can't speak naturally but instead have to pause after "Alexa" otherwise it will miss the beginning of the command.

+1 This should be an easy option to implement in the software. Please give users the option to hear the request sound, which, I feel, is loud, annoying, and unnecessary. I just got a Sonos One yesterday and am seriously considering returning it and switching back to my new Echo.

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!

Make the top light come on. The request prompt is unnecessary...or give US the ability to decide by making the tone an option.

This is a must feature, please implement it. Also, my Play One will be heading back to Sonos soon, unless it will also become possible to pair with my three, soon to be four Echo units. Having an option to play 'Everywhere' has to include the room my Sonos One is in.

+1 on this. SO annoying and doesn’t mimic any of the other Alexa devices’ behavior.

There isn't any official word yet, but I'll let you know if there's anything to share. We'll make sure the team knows the level of interest that we're hearing from you all too.
