How to stop start up sound

Is there any way to turn down or turn off the start up sound on the UE Wonder boom. It is really annoying when everyone around you always comments ‘What was that?” everytime you turn on the device in the office.

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Agree this sound is awful. I bought mine to use in the bath when I'm trying to relax but I have to put up with this awful loud sound whenever I turn it on/off. Not to mention that fact that there is a baby asleep next door so I have to muffle the speaker with a towel. Please send an update to turn it off or down before I throw this thing down the toilet!!

@mark a arnott do you not think we've already Googled this? How on earth do you think we got here in our quest?

I had the same problem until I discovered this:

Download the Ultimate Ears app, and in settings, ( the cog symbol top right) you can switch off all of its sounds under the heading ‘speaker sounds'.

Happy days! :)

Well Ruth, you almost made my day there but when I install said app it tells me 'SORRY THIS SPEAKER IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS APP'.

WHY THE !&&* NOT YOU EVIL MAGGOTS? THIS SPEAKER IS GETTING LAUNCHED ALL THE WAY TO MARS FROM THE END OF MY FOOT!

Thanks Ruth. This worked for me. There were a couple "ultimate ears" apps in Google Play. Had to make sure I downloaded the right one.

There appears to be no way to turn off the ugly startup sounds on the Wonderboom 1 only the Wonderboom 2 at twice the price, very cruel. It took UE years to slow us to turn off the UE Boom and UE Roll after everyone complained. If they knew this was a huge annoyance why in the world did they put it on the Wonderboom and why so loud. Why should you listen to your customers anyway.

I should not have to download software onto my device in order to stop an oppressively loud sound. I will never use this product again. The startup sound is 75-76 dB. That is louder than normal conversation, and it is significantly louder than the set volume. I set the volume to 35 dB while my roommate is sleeping at 1am. So if the volume is set to a certain level, why must a shutting off sound be double that volume? Seriously, I want to know who thought of this feature so I can punch them in the &&^&^$^ face. If I shut it off, that’s because I want it to not make noise.

It doesn't work u dummy. AS soon as u disconnect from the app on ur phone it goes back to the original settings. And there's no windows app. Try not to sound too condescending, because u found one solution...

by

Nope, that doesn't work for the Wonderboom2, only the WB3 and onwards, so no, the app ain't a solution to this one

After much trial and error, I found that if I turned the Boom on from the app instead of physically using the speaker button, the annoying voice does not tell me to make sure to connect to the internet! I tried this several times now and it worked every time! Whoohoo!
