I do not see a way to turn the sound off. For in class timing I use my smart phone set on vibrate. This is a great timer in the kitchen.

no ,there is no way to change the delay.but the delay does not really matter,cause the alarm is going to go off unless you have a remote to turn it off.I have one that goes off immediately but I personally Like the delay.

to the best of my knowledge there was no timer option. I would say I am about 75% sure on this. I would check, but I do not have the unit near by.

Yes, it does. I've read where you can program it to be silent. Personally, I haven't done that to mine yet.

Just check your settings and see if it somehow got put into silent mode. Outside of that, I don't have any other idea.

Yes device is super silent. No sound from it. Not sure about 24/7 because I never did. Maximum time I had left it on continously was 14hrs.

Yup - agree with all below. The default setting is: On until the machine is turnred Off. The timer button can be pressed to select any of the 4 different times (1 press = 30 minutes; 2 = 60 etc.). But those are OPTIONS; no press = On until turned off. (BTW: After 3 other "noise" machine brands we've tried, this is by far the best.)

Lacey, There is a slide switch on the right side of timer with the selections of: "mute/lo/hi"...check to make sure it's set to "lo" or "hi" instead of "mute"

It was quiet. The timer does not click, tick, or have an alarm. It's an internal timer. It was perfect for our office setting.

The start/pause button at the top can be used to begin the timer, and also to pause it mid-task. We haven't utilized that feature, but it is on there. Hope this helps!

Sorry, but I am coming up with the same thing as you. The only thing I can figure is that you may just tap it for mute and hold down for off. I have not had a chance to try this yet so I am just guessing. Hope this is of some help.

I guessing you could set each of the four timer buttons for a different amount of time, but I do not use the clock feature, so I can't comment on that. My bigger concern is that you might not hear the beeps inthe course of your daily life, because they are not very loud. If you have a smart phone with different alarm options, is hould think that would be the better way to go. I am sorry not to be able to be more helpful.

The timer is a preset electronic device. Without more knowledge of the circuit I would not know if it can be changed or not.

I don't have the watch or instructions with me (they were purchased for someone else, who is blind), and I don't remember exactly how to turn off the hourly announcement. But it can be turned off. It may be by using the "mode" button--by depressing it in. But if I remember correctly, that is the button used to turn the "alarm" on and off. I think you turn the hourly announcement off/on by depressing either the "minute" or "second" button. I believe you know the announcement, and even the alarm, is off, when the clock shows "nothing else", but the "time".

I don't know. I use it as the alarm and it gets louder until you turn it off.

Yes it does. I was hoping that it was more of a timer (in that you could set a time and the sound would start after a certain time). Instead you set the time and the sounds stop after that set period. (This doesn't work well for silent meditation...oh well) (:

If you want it off at specific times you can attach it to a cheap timer you can get in any harddware store for a few bucks. The reason you can do that with this unit is that i has an automatic power interruption/restoration restart feature. External timers are equivalent to power failure, and most brands stay off after interrupted power comes back - not this one. The timer built in selects short intervals for round clock on-off, which is not what you want.
