Or how every appliance needs to have an alarming beeeeeeep to alert you its done. Like its cool that you finished sterilizing our babies bottles but it wasn't really urgent...
Like the coffee grinder which beeps to let you know that the [rather loud] grinding process has finished!
My oven sounds exactly like my fire alarm, it's distressing, the first time I used it I ended up running to the kitchen thinking I was going to find the place burning.
At least my washing machine plays a cute little tune.
Is it an LG?

I'm done with the laundry
dirty and stinky old laundry
I'm done with the laundry
what do you want from me now?

At leat that has a real function. It's annoying, but it's a planned annoyance, and sometimes it really is useful so it's tolerable.
But so many of these LEDs indicate nothing except "this has power," which is readily apparent 99% of the time because it's plugged in and the house has power.
My favorite implementation of this is on a GPU power plug for a PC. The PSU will supply the power the GPU needs, but it has about 75w of "dirty" power from being plugged in to the motherboard, which it is plugged into for data. One company has LEDs only come on when the GPU power plug isn't plugged in. This way, if it comes uncoupled ever so slightly during a move, the warning LEDs by the plug come on. But otherwise they are off. Easy to diagnose, and when the LEDs turn off, you know it's plugged in.
I moved into a place with a weird dishwasher with an earsplitting beep when it's done. Never had one of these like this before. It chimes every 10 minutes for about 30 minutes. It's really annoying when you forget about the sound. I used to run my dishwasher when I went to bed. Not anymore. :(
My egg cooker competes with my smoke detector on how loud it is
On the other hand, I prefer the beeps over the jingles every appliance has now.
I laugh at those annoying jingles. Our washing machine sounds so pleased with itself when it has finished a load, playing a bright, happy, celebratory song. Pay attention to me! I have completed my assigned task!
One day they are going to be beeping at us like R2D2 providing way too much information.
"Beepity beep beep warble beep boop!" Translation - Dude use tissues, those socks were disgusting.
