Samsung Tv Makes Loud Noise When Turned On

Okay, let's talk about something that drives me absolutely bonkers. My Samsung TV. Specifically, that initial ROAR it unleashes when you turn it on.
It’s like waking a grumpy bear. A tech-savvy, high-definition bear, but still…grumpy.
The Wake-Up Call No One Asked For
I get it. It needs to announce its presence. "Hey, I'm here! Get ready for some serious streaming!"

But does it have to be so...enthusiastic? Like a jet engine warming up for takeoff. Maybe it needs to be more subtle?
Here's an unpopular opinion: I think the initial loud sound should be optional. A little checkbox in the settings. "Startup Roar: [ ] Enable".
The Volume Conspiracy
I swear, it's louder than anything I actually watch on the TV. It is at least 10 times louder than my favorite shows.

Is this some kind of elaborate prank? Are Samsung engineers secretly laughing at us every time we turn on the TV at 6 AM?
Don't even get me started on turning it on late at night. Trying to be stealthy? Forget about it. The whole neighborhood knows you're binge-watching The Great British Baking Show.
The Remote: Our Only Hope
My current strategy involves a frantic grab for the remote the second I hit the power button. Mute button: My best friend, my confidant. It's the only thing standing between me and a noise complaint.

It’s like diffusing a bomb. Gotta be quick, gotta be precise, or the sound wave of doom will be unleashed.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm developing carpal tunnel from the sheer speed and force I apply to that mute button. All thanks to the Samsung TV startup noise.
Is Silence Too Much to Ask?
I know, I know. It’s a first-world problem. There are bigger issues in the world. But hear me out.
Isn't the point of modern technology to make our lives easier? Not to give us mini heart attacks every time we want to watch Netflix?

I’m just saying, a little bit of peace and quiet would be nice. A gentle chime, maybe? Or, dare I dream, complete and utter silence?
Am I Alone in This?
Please tell me I'm not the only one who experiences this sonic assault. Are there others out there, silently battling the morning roar of their Samsung TVs?
Maybe we should start a support group. "Samsung Startup Noise Survivors Anonymous." We could share coping strategies and swap mute button techniques.

Or, you know, we could just collectively complain on the internet. Which, let's be honest, is probably what we're all doing anyway.
A Humble Plea to Samsung
Dear Samsung, I love your TVs. The picture quality is amazing, the smart features are great. But please, for the love of all that is holy, give us an option to silence the startup roar.
Think of the peace of mind! Think of the saved relationships with our neighbors! Think of my poor, overworked mute button!
It’s a small change that would make a big difference. So, please, hear my plea. Let's make the world a quieter, more peaceful place, one Samsung TV at a time.
