I would definitely disable this horrible and stressful beep if there were such an option in the app. I usually use the drone in a very silent environment and don't want to disturb everybody in the area. I need silence and concentration to land the drone correctly, not hurry about landing fast to avoid people's remarks.

Agreed kill the beep while you're at it kill the green flashing lights on the controller I put chewing gum over mine on the first time I turned it on gum was all I had now it's covered with duct tape.

Will paint the blinding led lights black when the tape wears off or gouge them out with a pick regardless the annoying lights are going

Unfortunately, it is really impossible to adjust the sound intensity in this case by software. An intermediary element in the form of a transistor would be needed. Besides, the buzzer could fake the sound. It is designed for a fixed parameter. The on / off operation mode remains, either the old, proven patent with a screw, or the pressure with a spring.

I am pretty sure a PWM signal could be used to adjust the volume of a simple beeper like this.

Recently DJI is blacklisted by the US government (really) and somewhat less recently by the dutch Military Forces (really). I think this is because of the beeping of there drones. Too many secret agents may have been busted because of that. Nevertheless has the dutch National Police stated they have no problem with DJI (really). Which can maybe be explained by the fact they show up when a lot of beeping has already started. These instances use a special "governament security secure" app-version which is not available for you and me. Beep Beep Beep.

Do you have proof of the beep being the reason or are you just that peed off by the beep

At first I thought the rc buzzer was active. I quickly realized there were several different tones when turning the rc on, so the buzzer had to be passive and required an external pwm. So everything is to be done, including loudness. I just ask if we'll see it. So far, the spring under the casing pressing the diaphragm has turned out to be better than the screw.

On an aircraft with a pilot on board, when something goes wrong the master caution light goes off and a really annoying horn sounds. In their pilot training, the first thing they do is turn off the horn. It’s distracting and it makes it unsafe to continue flying with the horn sounding. The horn sounding or beeper in this case should only be to warn you of something new. You must turn it off after each time something goes wrong. Fix this and I will buy my own mini two thanks guys!

Agree 100% (except for mechanical stall warnings in light aircraft, they can't be silenced and are quite unpleasant).

The warning beep should not be disabled, in my opinion, but you should be able to acknowledge the warning and once acknowledged the beep should silence until/unless another warning state arises.

Constant beeping is an annoying distraction.

Because all modern DJI controllers do this, its not like its something new, been like it for years now, so they are unlikely to mention something that is pretty much par for the course, I'm sure you can hear it in the live flight reviews though, no?

The RTH function is an automatic function. We (and the beeping) have no influence on it. I am very glad my car does not beep during RTH when it is low on fuel. I suppose one knows what is going on when flying, also (especially !) if anything gets critical. For me the beeping makes things worse. It attracts the wrong attentions and it spoils my concentration.

Do you mean it's an automatic function if you loose signal, or that it is triggered every time you want to land?

As annoying as it is, it's actually much better for your batteries health to end the flight before going lower than 20% ...I think, I do.

Updating this beep should be very easy since it is software-controlled so adding 1 button in the app will do. I hope Dji realises how problematic this alarmsound actually is in daily practice ! It is always triggering lots of very wrong attention and (so) discussions with locals who however have no idea about (ie) the new european general arrangement on drones per jan 1st. There principle is "Local says No" and some even call the police !

Totally agree with you and it’s clear DJI doesn’t want to fix this. Ppl have complained for a while

Beeping is activated when
- one applies the rth-button,
- there is a lowbat situation occuring,
- rth is activated due to loosing contact (after some seconds and if you have choosen for that in the app-settings). I don't know if beeping will also start if you have set for "hover" or for "landing (t)here" then.
Beeping is not activated by any regular way of human control.

Can't say for the Dutch Military but the blacklisting by the US government is actually only a blacklisting of stock and ownership trading. This was due to an allegation of there being spies and insider trading going on.

Absolutely nothing to do with the beep.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet or not but you can use the software at the link below to change the percent at which the low battery warning happens. I've set mine to warn me at 10% and beep at 5%.

This beep drives everyone crazy and hurts my ears. If i fly my drown 5 miles away, i should have to be torchered for 10 minutes every time I return it home. The beep is so stupid and pointless. Let it beep when its within 100 meters of returning, but not 5 miles away. This is such an easy fix.

I can't fly my drone at night because the beep will wake up the baby. If the remote isnt turned off, the remote does a super annoying double beep. It's TOO LOUD! Please fix this DJI
Thank you.

Got hooked up with this program but can you advice the parameter name? Could'n find them. Do you need to get the license?
EDIT: Found these 2, dji_bat_level_1... and dji_bat_level_2 That would be the low level warning and the critical level warning probably(?). Would they initate the beeper as well? RTH problems still remains, even if you got these covered.

Just got the Mini 2, here's the thread I was looking for. Reminds me of the PS4, where the solution to disable beeping is to unsolder the beeping module. Would be a shame if I had to open up the Mini 2 controller do do some unecessary unsoldering/unscrewing when a software update would do the trick.

Had a day testing the Litchi automatic features with this "Less than a 10%" set up and I'm so happy, no more smoke alarm but female voice telling me about batt level being low but by whispering instead. So happy.

Still RTH beep is there and that is very very annoying if not even dangerous. Normally when I get RTH activated, something vent bananas already and last thing I want in that situ is the beeper drawing attention to me. Might end up yanking the buzzer off if there is no cure to this soon.

I know there is not too much new information in this post but want to be part of the group wanting this to be rectified.

People could be staring at you because they find you unusually attractive - happens to me all the time.     Also, you can practice 'Stealth Droning' by remaining inside your vehicle during flight, if feasible in terms of signal strength.  I do this all the time in public areas with people around.    Other times I hide my controller with a coat or other articles of clothing, etc, and sit down someplace whilst flying to be less noticable.   I sometimes even program my home point away from my immediate location and RTH there so no one realizes what I'm doing.

It is clear you don't like the beeping. Btw : do you wear earplugs when hiding Inside your vehicle ? Must be a terrible situation then.

I have no vehicle anyway, except for my bicycle with which I cycle  fulltime in the south of europe since 2017. I used a lanyard at first instance but removed it after just the first flight. Just to not attract any unwanted attention. People notice that immediately and then see it isn't just a mobilephone.

That didn't help either so I took the guess and blocked the beeper completely by glueing it's membrane. Even that didn't really help so then I glued on an extra piece of hardplastic. Since then the controller is totally silent.

Which is not at all real problem since all info is at the screen. It is just a matter of starting to look. Which you already do then since the drone is far away and always out of direct sight you are always looking at the screen.

What if ie your car would start beeping this way if ie the low-on-petrol light would occur. You would probably not even be able to make it to the first petrolstation because you would have to protect your ears. With both of your hands ... Without having the auto-rth-option.

There is no and there will most likely never be an official disable-beeping option. You could consider to block the beeper by glueing it's membrane or by unsoldering it completely. However chance is high you will damage the controllercasing (slightly) when opening it. Now my controllersleeve hides the small damages. I recommend it since it is a great relieve.

Info: I opened a second thread dealing with this problem - with a quite aggressive title for highlighting the importance of getting rid of this dangerous annoyance.
It really is dangerous as it raises your stress level, impairs your hearing and attracts bystanders - with NO practical benefits at all.

Wilfried: I also used the low petrol warning as an example - I did not see you mentioning that before I wrote my part, so it looks like the beeping causes similar brain disturbances.

It is (was) screeming like Hell (like the beeper of a TRUCK driving rearwards, until I disabled it some months ago pfuh). As it is with hundreds of other peoples controller. Why do you guess that this post has so many responses ? I bought my set december 2020 and maybe you have a newer version and did DJI something about the terrible beeping. Without publishing that. It is totally unnatural to have a beeper beeping continously for all the time during any action. It nerves, sucks, attracts unwanted attention and "eats" the wanted attention, namely your own to concentrate on the flying. Would be very nice to find out about a beeper-volume-difference between your first-flight-controller and an older one.
