Oooooh, lucky me. Mine only beeps 7 times and then blessed quiet. I use it more than the stove timer unless there's something in the oven which HAS to be removed. I wonder if anyone has let the stove timer beep until.....what do you think will happen? I'm not about to test it tho.

I have a metronome which is supposed to be programmable to turn off after a minute or whatever you want, but I still haven't figured that feature out. Still dealing with learning all the features on a cordless phone too.(gnashing of teeth.)
