How to turn off or at least mute those horrible severe weather alerts?

After having been subjected to these unnecessarily loud alerts from AT&T Uverse for several months now and verifying there is no reasonable alternative, I've switched back to DirecTV.   I did verify before switching back that they don't have the same complaints about unnecessarily loud alerts. So, problem solved!

I never had trouble w/them, there was always a 4-5 second period to exit it b4 it honked.  I've had that for a few years now and caught it every time except twice and it wasn't as loud as it used to be. 😉

If you have your remote handy and have a quick response, you can turn the volume all the way down as soon as you see the graphic.

It says other agencies MAY use the EAS.  It does not say those messages are REQUIRED

Enough of the "chicken little sky is falling"  alerts by the cya bureaucracy

I can't stand how these alerts come at full volume when I have the TV turned down, which is so I am not disturbing my neighbors and my animals aren't bothered.  I think the issue is not that we get these alerts but that regardless of the volume setting (unless it's muted) these alerts are blasting out of my speakers.  If it's late at night, and the TV is quiet and I can hear it, then I can hear the d@mned alert without it suddenly waking my neighbors.  This is ridiculous, and reminds me of when commercials were so much louder than the shows you're watching, making one dive for the remote.  Those who argue that this is to save lives are simply not getting the point - I'll hear it without the need for the tone to be so loud as to wake the dead - it was already selected to cut through other background noises so it can be heard, why does it have to be as LOUD AS POSSIBLE???  Why can't it be a reasonable volume like anything else?  I'll hear it, so anyone wanting to tell me "it's to save your life" - rest assured, it will be able to do that without blowing out my eardrums or freaking out my animals and neighbors.  UGH!!!

make it THREE.  the volume is way too loud... WAY WAY too loud.  I did not see the mandate for a specific dB level.... get over the flight crew is god mentality and return to civilized society

It ruins the show or the TV movie I am watching.  It has happened this morning 5 times in 30 minutes.  There is only a small thunder system in Memphis not tornados.   This is beyond ridiculous to blare out 5 warnings in 30 minutes.  They should allow u to disable it if u r not in bad weather.  It frightened me and my cats to death and it gives my dad a heart attack he just had heart surgery and it scares him to death.   I can see if there is a tornado but just rain brings on 5 alerts in 30 mins is going a bit far
