**Opening up the machine** To see this beeping speaker you have to turn the machine over. [Photo.](https://imgur.com/a/0WPYP) Then, remove some screws. There are two sets of different sized screws. Make sure you keep track of which screws go where. (Hint: The smaller screws go with the metal washers.

It is labeled Alarm on the circuit board. [Photo.](https://imgur.com/4kgY1kC)
Option 1: Mute the speaker by putting a small bit of tape over the hole next to the plus sign shown in this [photo.](https://imgur.com/4kgY1kC) I used masking tape, but you might want to try experimenting with other types of tapes. This will lower the volume a lot and is non-destructive.

Option 2: Permanently remove the ability of your stenograph to make sounds. This will destructively remove all capabilities of your machine to make beeping sounds. Make sure you really want to go in this direction before moving forward. If you plan on using this machine with a battery, the low battery beep could be useful. I plan on only using it plugged in and I don't plan on getting a battery. I successfully completed this modification, but please do this at your own risk.

The speaker, a Piezo Electric Buzzer makes sound by vibrating a ceramic plate. This can be carefully broken. I used a screw.
