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

I’ve had the speaker set up for a day and the beeping is driving me crazy. It’s been beeping incessantly all night and I can’t make it stop. I unplugged my Sonos, unplugged Alexa and also disabled the Alexa voice control feature and it is STILL beeping. Hoping it will stop when the Sonos gets drained of power eventually? Just trying to go to sleep.

This chime is super distracting, I really hate it. Please please give us an option to turn it off

Very disappointing to see this thread and that this is still not an option we are able to change. I guess i will be disabling Alexa on my new Ones. I should have gotten the Play:1 instead.

Agree. Really need the option to disable the tone. I won't buy any more Sonos products till I can better manage the Alexa interaction.

If indeed Amazon is the hold-up here, does anyone know where I could go to request that Amazon release Sonos from the restriction, or allow Sonos to have an in-app option to disable the sound? I understand the privacy concerns regarding always-on devices listening without obvious communication, but if a user is willing to hunt through options to disable that indication, it would seem a fair compromise.

This reminds me of Apple disabling the use of the volume button to take a picture using a physical button, even when a third-party app made the option something a user had to select with a menu option. Apple finally relented, but it took quite a while. This seems like a similar issue. And for that reason, I hold out hope.

...because, just when I think I can tolerate that noise, it interrupts me and my train of thought, causes disruption in Alexa's ability to understand my request, and ultimately is simply infuriating to not be able to disable...

It’s driving me nuts on my beam too. Had volume on relatively high last night watching TV. Then this morning, without the TV on, it scared me to death sounding like Big Ben. It woke my family up. It’s a horrible experience, Sonos.

@ritch To avoid such surprises, use IFTTT or SmartThings to lower the volume of the speakers either on a fixed schedule or whenever they are inactive for a period of time. It's at least something until Sonos & Amazon can agree on a solution to this issue.

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!

Good news! On the Echo Input, which also does not have a light ring, Amazon plays the sound but also includes the option in the Alexa app to disable the sound! (It's under Devices > (choose your device) > Sounds > Request Sounds > Start of Request.

Now that Amazon has an official supported mechanism of turning off the sound, has Sonos begun the process of implementing the same feature? This would be wonderful news to so many people. Thanks so much!
