I calibrated the battery this weekend, I turned the volume down to 1 and let it talk, unless we were sitting at my desk, the speech was barely noticeable, and if we left the room we never heard it at all. One of us would pop in once in a while to see if it was still talking, but it did not disturb anyone, not even my husband when he came in here to do some of his homework. He said he could notice it was talking but could not really tell what it was saying from his desk, and when he turned on the Suns basketball game he did not even notice it.
I could have plugged in the earphones I suppose, but then we would have had a more difficult time telling when the process was completed. The point I am making is that it should not be all that disturbing if you use a low volume. I always use speech when I do this process, figure it is less damaging to the unit than running the exercise braille display option, which I do occasionally run just to make sure all cells are functioning.

In that case, try to put the voicenote in a room and shut the door unless you really insist on driving yourself over the edge.
