Shortly after our son was born, my wife and I went thru basically everything in our house and figured out how to turn off all the extraneous beeps and noises so we wouldn't inadvertently wake him up from a nap. We found most (not all!) devices typically have a way to turn this stuff off. Sometimes can turn off the exterior signal lights too. The other thing we did that we ended up really liking was removing our doorbell. We live in a fairly urban part of our city and that really helped cut down on the random noises.
