Problematic

Remove the prompt bell sound! Initially I was going to rate this 5 stars until about the 10th time I heard the Pavlovian response bell or tone which is overused. I understand the intent; however, most intelligent humans don't need an annoying sound to prompt them to repeat linguistic phrases ... ususally they are already way ahead. Otherwise this is a well thought out product except for the bell from hell. Hopefully, someone will write a sound editing script that can automatically remove all the bell sounds and offer that as an alternative audio. Sorry, but this otherwise excellent audio is annoying.
