Do any sounds work beside whisle? The manual indicate bell, whisle, annoucements, idle, etc!

Our bell does not work- not sure if it's faulty or the manual is wrong. It has smoke, but whistle is the only sound it makes.

The bell and whistle does work. The announcements are "All aboard" It only needs a small drop of the liquid to produce smoke.

Sorry,I don't know. I gave the set to my grandson last Christmas. We didn't try everything, so I don't know about the other sounds. The set was pretty nice though.

We have just used the whistle, but will experiment to see if the other functions work.

I haven't tried it yet as I just got it today, but when i was setting the alarm there was a bell symbol and it was either normal or with a slash through it. my assumption is that when you select the slash though, the sounds will be muted.

Scott, I would call the manufacturer. Ours had small sound at first. I was able to resolve by unassembly and reassembly of the area v

We have made multiple attempts to contact the company directly (with no avail) regarding both questions. The volume on the machine just does randomly seem to almost turn itself off (so low, it might as well be). We experienced the exact same defect on several different units via exchanges to the company, although a select few customers seem to report no problem at all. As to improvements, we have noticed the product appearing and disappearing from various retailer sites...hopefully, it has been an effort to pull the item and find a solution. However, based on other reviews we've seen: No improvements have been made. Currently we are using the one-level-down model from this company and we do like it. It has far less features (fewer sounds/ tones, no clock) than the Version II, but as it actually works and we don't get startled awake all through the night with sound cutting out, it is the only one we would recommend at this time. Homedics could also stand to work on their customer service while they are at fixing the second model.

I have two units. One is dead silent in the idle mode, the other has a barely detectable white noise. Try double-clicling on the Play/Stop button to change into another audio mode, such as for speech.

The first time I used it I did get a beep, but the second ( last ) time I used it I noticed also that there was no beep?! So I just had to try to time it and "peek" when I thought they were done. Sorry that I'm not much help! Same problem here....but I do think I'm making the best waffles I've made and can do a lot quickly when I have visitors.

Hi Raffi, yes, this metronome sounds a bell on the downbeat, accommodating meters with 2 beats to the measure, 3 beats to the measure, 4 beats to the measure, and 6 beats to the measure, as well, as a constant, rhythmic ticking with no bell sound at all. All of these options are easily available with the pull of a little silver rod on the side of the unit, and each option is easily marked to satisfy any of your needs. I am very grateful for the affordability of this fine 'instrument'!

NO , infact it is NOT at all sound activated (item description they give is false on that part) , it runs its own cycle of auto programs only , still cool and worth the $ , very unique item ,

Like everyone else I didn't receive up instruction manual either. Does anyone know what the "sound" button is for or how to use it. Thanks

Try and see if the red switch moves where the castle door is. The sound box is connected to it. Otherwise, I am going to guess you need to send it back for a replacement.

I have not added any sounds, but yes more can be added. You can buy the sounds direct from Foxpro, or find some on the internet. They are loaded via usb connection to computer.

It had a bell button but it did not make any bell sound. The whistle and Christmas music work really well though.

There is two things that I noticed that control the sound. Answering the yes/no prompt when setting the timer, and the black volume control on the side of the base. Maybe this will help.

No issue for me. I get Jingle Bells all year long. Perhaps yours is defective.

This was a gift so I don't remember. Buy my first one came with a sound problem so it didn't work. I wouldn't be surprised if yours wasn't working either. They have an amazing customer service though.
