Is there a setting to turn off the "beep" when you power on?

Is there a setting to silence the beep when you turn the power on? I've looked but found nothing.

Why would you want that? Is it becasue you don't want your parents waking up, when you want to play past your bedtime.

I don't believe so. I'm with you though man, I wish it had a setting to turn in off too.

You could always smother it with a blanket on start up.emitsu97

By it you mean...nevermind.

You have to use both of your pointer fingers, bend your arms at the elbows, insert fingers into ear canals, and press the PS button on your controller with either big toe.emitsu97

This guy said it all.

How about he turns down the volume on his TV? Honestly, some people just look for a 'flame war'. Can't you just accept his sons a light sleeper, and a beep he hears a lot is going to possibly wake him?Adziboy

Actually I'm pretty sure the sound comes from the PS3 itself NOT the TV.

Boy it's hot here!

No kidding man! The guy asked a simple question, but people can't be happy with that. They've got to make it more interesting and make it a "flame war". How old are we here again?

Do you have your PS3 right next to your son's head?

I just don't see how that little beep could ever wake someone up and you wont be able to turn it off because it's to let you know the system ok.

lol and no TC.

Wow, my simple little topic turned into pure carnage. Thanks to those who actually tried to help.

I have the same problem but more or so with my girlfriend. To avoid having to have the beep go off, intially during the evening I'll turn it on ahead of time & have it run Folding@Home. After a couple of hours later when she goes to sleep, I just grab my controller, exit out of the application, pop in a game & voila! No fuss, no muss! Not only did I avoid having to wake her up with the fairly loud beep but I also contributed to cancer research at the same time. Can't beat that!

give son ear plugs? lol jk, but yea best thing like that guy said, smother it with a blanket, or u can just not turn it on ;)

The beeps are even more annoying when HL2 or any other game that freezes.. Well... Freezes up and you have to reboot.. The triple "beep, beep, beep!" I can read colors and can hear a system running. This is why my PC doesn't have a system speaker for the bootup-beeps. It's also why car alarms have a silent arm/disarm mode. Some people just don't dig stupid beeps. I'm one of those beepin' haters! Perhaps a small piercing in the system speaker on the PS3 shall silence it for good.. Now, where is the damned little speaker at?! :)

I think it's a dumb feature to have. None of my other equipment needs to beep because they either have power-on LEDs (which the PS3 has) or LCD panels that make me fully aware of it running. Maybe one day we'll have a way to hack the PS3's mainframe... Maybe.

i know what you mean TC, does suck how you can't turn off the beep. My fiance complains about the beep if i turn on my PS3 late at night and tells me to go to sleep, -shakes head-

What? Seriously .. :lol:

If you're son can hear the beep, and possibly wake up from it then he could be the lightest sleeper in the world .. my mom is a light sleeper and never hears me playing late at night ..

Maybe you have it way to close to him ..

Can't believe this is a thread ..

I believe it's used for diagnostic purposes. You know how you get a triple beep if you power it down after a lock up? Dunno if you can switch it off though - I doubt it.

Kinda like PCs. The beep when it switches on can tell you what the problem is if it won't boot up properly. You can get multiple beeps, long ones, or worse of all - nothing....

Im sure there is a reason for the beep. But it is annoying.

Those who find the beep 'annoying', are easily annoyed ..

What wrong with the beep? It lasts for no more than a second. :|

You could probably open it and disconnect the internal speaker.
