I'm okay with appliance making cute little dings or buzzes but if they chime out a full song it creeps me right out. I'm gonna get the clothes out of the wash you don't have to scream "Mary had a Little Lamb" at me.

It's pretty great when it's done well though. But it's so rarely done well.

I've heard appliances make beeps or sing songs that clearly meant "job completed successfully", or "low battery", or "I need rescued before I can work again" without any need to consult a manual.
