It’s almost a pity I can’t stream audio to it. (I mean, it’s sitting right next to my proper Yamaha receiver so it’d be _utterly pointless_ and _stupid_ but also just silly fun.) ---

It doesn’t really come out that well on the recording (remember, €500 gets you an old t-shirt and a cassette tape with a recording of my voice), but there’s the turning on chime, a few tapping on the screen clicks and the goodbye sound. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?visual=false&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F447015300&show_artwork=true&maxheight=166&secret_token=s-tXmzX I carefully selected this specific printer model, but the high quality audio it produced was a big surprise. I didn’t expect it to produce any, or at most some kind of piezoelectric single-tone beep thingy. ---

> [@Frenzie](#): > > I carefully selected this specific printer model, but the high quality audio it produced was a big surprise. It’s a really communicative printer. 😉 I have to admit that I’ve never payed attention to the noises of my printer … (Compared to the matrix printers in the 80s he is very silent… 😉 ) ---

> [@Someone](#): > > It’s a really communicative printer. 😉 It’s a pity you can’t play the chimes in isolation. In real life you can clearly hear how good the speaker sounds but the physical printer noises hide it much better on the recording. It’s possible that the noises it makes were tailored to the speaker, but in theory it sounds like it’s no worse than the speakers on my phone or laptop. The truly amazing part is that it might even be better. Edit: oh, I forgot, that’s the Brother DCP-9020CDW. I absolutely _adore_ the ADF feature. In retrospect it’s scary to think I almost opted to save €15 or so to get a model without. ---

> [@Frenzie](#): > > Brother DCP-9020CDW There’s nothing about the speaker in [the specs](http://support.brother.com/g/b/spec.aspx?c=eu_ot&lang=en&prod=dcp9020cdw_eu) either. Just noise levels related to physical operation. It also fails to mention that the ADF part of scanning/copying is actually much louder than the scanner part. ---
