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

Gosh, Sonos. Are you familiar with the concept of “agile development”? It basically means to rapidly roll out fixes to bugs or add features on an on-going basis, rather than waiting for years in between releases like Windows (used to?). So why don’t you just listen to your customers and fix this rather than letting it go for over a year without a solution?

I want it to be the same as echo dot, no sounds. At least make its volume to less loud.

If u cannot do it I have to return my 2 sonos one

Dear Christ I hate the tone. I wish Sonos would just make the Sonos emblem light up blue or flash when a voice assistant is picking up. The tone is jarring and sucks. I was planning on upgrading our other Sonos products as we have 10 of them, but man this is a deal breaker.

100% agree. That sounds is very loud plus it's sound quality is not premium at all, bum... Sounds like 14 bucks speaker

Please make disabling the tone an option.

Please make disabling the tone an option.. It's pretty easy to do, leave on by default and change to be possible. Thank you

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!

more than a year since this post ^^^ from Sonos (Oct-2017) - come on sonos, this can't be a hard feature to implement

Dismayed to find this thread and see that it’s been a whole year with no resolution on it. Bought a new Beam. Can’t stand it with Alexa with this activation chime. Also it won’t process custom commands I’ve set for Alexa - like “Alexa, bye bye” which turns off the lights in my apartment. The command works on all the rest of my Echos. Sonos - if you market your product as an Alexa device, it needs to work as other Alexa devices do. What’s the hold up?

+1. The tone is highly annoying and interrupts giving a command.

Yes, it has to be worth keeping this thread going and hopefully Sonos/Amazon will sort this for us all eventually. I’m sure it’s possible to give users the option to switch off this tone, either per household, or per device. I would be happy with either option.
