We recently purchased two ninja devices in the past 6 months.  We really like their products and also own their blender/ food processor. But the most recent devices are countertop appliances. When using them,  they beep when you turn them on,  when the function is done,  when you pause and restart a function... the beep is not loud or annoying to me as a human..... but there is something about the beeps that sets my dog off in a panic and he will run away and whine to go outside.  It's so bad now that if he even hears me touch the device,  he runs away. I tried researching if there was a way to mute the beeping (there is not) and discovered there are many other users who's pets have the same reaction.  I wish Ninja would allow users to disable or mute the beeps on their appliances.
