Option to disable route recalculating alert. That nerve wracking chirp is driving me crazy!
Whoever approved that grating & obnoxious squawking route recalculation alarm should be fired. I drive a cab and even my customers cringe when they hear it and say "what's that awful noise". PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET US TURN IT OFF! Alerts only should mean alerts only. Hearing that damn noise screech and grate 5 times when I'm driving through a parking lot is maddening!

Thanks for your feedback. At this time, this doesn't fit on our roadmap, but we'll keep it in mind for future product planning.

We all still need this feature, what about your road map?
Annoying or not, useful or useless, we need an option to disable it altogether. It’s interrupting all audio while driving into or out from a parking lot etc. etc.
The sound pollution of waze was disturbing and distracting all the way. Now I think this sound is the last I want to - I need to get rid of. -

Would be excellent to be able to disable the music volume lowering and chirp when the app reroutes. I don't want to have to turn off all alerts just to not have my music interrupted when I route slightly differently

Has it fit your road map yet? We all hate it. EVERYONE hates it! There's no option to turn it off. Alerts only means ALERTS ONLY, not alerts and one annoying chirp.

The sound is obnoxious and aggressive. If I am in a parking lot the sound may go off 8 times in 30 seconds. It is over the top annoying. And I have stopped using the app because of it

PLEASE add the feature to TURN OFF the recalculate notification sound! The only sound I want to hear is for Police. Please!

People have been complaining about this chirp for years and Waze seems intent on keeping it around. It's the sole reason that Waze isn't my primary navigation app.

Please add this option, I use Waze for daily commute to let me know find the fastest route considering that day’s traffic, and then have just alerts enabled. But each time either I make an adjustment or Waze makes an adjustment, then the chime goes off. This’ll be 10 times per commute, and having the ability to turn this one thing off like I can other alerts would make the experience far less jarring.

I'm afraid I disagree. I myself found that sound USEFUL in many situation. Obviously an option to switch it off at will could be useful but I would never deactivate it.

Please, please, please give us an option to turn off this horrible sound! Or perhaps the option to disable rerouting, whatever your esteemed product managers decide. :pray

Glad to see it's not just just me that hates this sound. Please add an option to deactivate it.

We would love to be able to disable this feature. We drive on a wide interstate in the HOV Lane and Waze thinks we're off the route. It's super frustrating.

Are you really proud of this high pitch recalculating alert? Any reasons that everybody hates this sound and you just don't want to change it?
I stop using WAZE because of this stupid alert sound -

Yes, option to disable or lower the volume of route recalculating alert. That high pitch alert is driving me crazy and force me not to use waze again!
