I like the idea of robot people being embarrassed at automated system beeps

Automated messages getting in the way of some activities

Low battery or system frozen beeps

device disconnected noise

Being paired with other devices if they have wireless connectivity

Announcing that a panel is open with a voice that is not theirs

Sometimes when that panel is closed

But of course those are safety features

Can't just
Disable them

Low battery alarm

Low insulin alarm

Device connection lost alarm

High blood glucose alarm

Low blood glucose alarm (repeats every 5-10 minutes while the condition persists)

And 1 in every 10 days new sensor calibration means that that low blood glucose alarm could be incorrect and persist for hours with no real way to address it

But of course those are safety features

Can't just
Disable them

hey Luis, that's literally me.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and I have a continuous glucose monitor (CGM), the dexcom G6. i also have an insulin pump, the Tandem T:Slim X2. the cgm reads my blood sugar and sends it to my phone and pump. when I get a low blood sugar my phone and pump make a distinct alert beep. when my pump is out of insulin, it makes a different alert beep. low battery is a third. i have all noises turned off that I can, but those three I cannot turn off. and yes, it's embarrassing. it wake us up at night sometimes haha

so yeah this concept is real in the real world, but for us cyborgs

just read your post, i forgot about the inaccurate startup for the G6. this happened like just last week i was sitting pretty at 105 and because it was a new sensor, it kept dipping down to like 50 before correcting itself. nothing to do but ignore it and be slightly annoyed lol
