hahahhahahahahah...
Why do the Japanese insist on making inanimate objects sing?
Even if I didn't have a 1-year old, I would find the aural feedback on this device wholly unnecessary. Start cooking, and you get serenaded by an electronic melody. Stop cooking, and you get another electronic melody. There are options to change the **octave** of the melody, or change it to a series of beeps (why just one beep with 15 will do?), but NOT TO TURN IT OFF. I don't want my son to wake up from his nap simply because the rice cooker is feeling self-satisfied. My old rice cooker did fine without twinkle twinkle little star, I ask you, why? WHY?
I've popped the thing open, hoping to find a speaker that I could clip the leads of of. Nope, the transducer is soldered directly onto the board and is extremely difficult to get at.
Love the rice cooker. I just wish it would shut up.
