> My washing machine beeps, for the best part of 10 mins, when it's finished. Also nice when this happens in the wee small hours.

My washing machine loudly plays a lengthy fecking song when it's finished!

I do wish that, at the least, there was a way to reduce the volume of all these beeping things...

That would be Die Forelle [0] by schubert - it's a song about a trout. Now you can think of trout every time it happens.

That's the one!

Had no idea it was about a trout of all things, or indeed why they chose such a song?!

Let me guess... one of the big Korean manufacturers? Seems to be popular over there for some reason.

Fortunately, on my LG, you can turn it off - but there's no middle ground: it's either a 30 second tune or complete silence.

Yep, it's Samsung. We purchased a more expensive machine, expecting it would be better quality and last longer... it's been a terrible purchase though, we've had nothing but trouble with it. Won't be buying Samsung again.
