Hi,

I can’t seem to find the setting anywhere so does anyone know where the setting is to stop the wake sound when calling Alexa on the sonos one?

Many thanks,

Dan

No setting for this that I can find, but I find the sound both annoying and unnecessary. I would definitely prefer to see this become an option. It's bad enough they added the wake sound, but what a strange and clunky choice. It sounds like an error tone.

I agree with you 100%...the sound is annoying and on the echo devices you can turn this off. The problem with this sound on is that it misses the full command as it doesn’t hear the full request as the sound plays. I REALLY want to be able to turn this off. I have to say the microphone light being on is also very annoying.

Totally agree with all points - i would prefer that the microphone light be lit only when not listening - ideally in red (if possible) to match the alexa devices.

Yes that is what I thought too...the mic light in red when not in use and not lit when in use. It was distracting in the Bedroom last night and I know I could have turned it off but then it kinda defeats the object of it.

That's the same wake sound that Amazon's own devices use. Though Amazon does have a setting to disable the sound. Not sure why Sonos didn't include one as well.

The S in IOT stands for Security.

@MikeV ... You're right, that is the same sound. Funny, having owned several echos and dots from the earliest releases, I don't remember having ever heard it before or remember turning it off, but the option is there and I must have used it. Still seems an odd choice of wake sound, but apparently that's on Amazon not Sonos. Nevertheless, I hope Sonos will give us the option to disable or change the wake sound.
