  When it’s done? Fine.

  Every time I turn it on, or off, or open the door, or think about using it for a second? No thank you. I don’t need a tune for every action. I can very clearly see that you’re on because the display is on. I know you’re open because I’m standing right the fuck here.

    I just need a singing rice cooker so I can go “Ganbatte Mr Rice Cooker San!” when he starts cooking and “Arigato Mr Rice Cooker San” when he is done.

    OK well I have never seen one play a whole song every time you touch it. Mine just does a simple jingle when the cycle is over.

    You’re gonna miss the tune for when the display dies but the controller still works. It’s actually there for user input feedback. It could’ve been anything else, but if it has to be there, it might as well be something pleasant. Picture an appliance that screamed every time you pushed a button.

      Like Hitchhiker’s Guide’s sighing doors. :D

  I prefer a simple signal, too. Maybe the whole “play a song when the laundry is done” is a cultural thing.

  I prefer a little deedle-eep to a horrid mechanical buzzer.

  When the dishwasher spends an entire goddamn minute doing the same annoying chiptune, every single day… gimme back the buzzer.
