Just because you can hear it doesn’t mean everyone can. Beeps are interruptive too.

My microwave has an option to turn off all the beeps, and it's a landlord special so I imagine others can do the same. Check your model and see if it has that option.

For mine, I literally need to hold down I think the number 3 for 5 seconds. It's in no way obvious.

Appliances should never ever beep, change my mind. What happened to the good old "bing" or "brrrrrrring"?

Beeping makes my skin crawl!

Our new one has the option to not have a clock and just be blank so it’s extra annoying when somebody leaves the timer on and the screen stays on blinking ‘cook time’.

I’ve said it before, but they should have a time out option of say like 5 or 10 minutes, when it automatically goes back to standby.

I just can't wait for microwave to have an integration with AI. I just need another internet connected device that can recommend a nice laxative after scanning what it just cooked. Not only that but it could integrate with my smart fridge and make sure that it orders food that is just about to expire from Instacart. And with its partnership with Doordash, the microwave could just stop working and order a replacement meal for me.

...said no one ever.

I've got a newer (5yo) Maytag that has a silent mode that you can choose either with end beep or without. It resets every power outage which is my only gripe.

Many if not most microwaves can be muted, but they usually don't have a special button for it.

It's often some secret button combination. READ YOUR MICROWAVE'S MANUAL.

No there isn't.

Where's the challenge in that?

Squealing and pooting?

You are a unique person.

Is that microwave safe?

Divorce.

As far as I can tell thats a Korean appliance thing, so maybe try an LG or Samsung microwave.

My sometimes lying rice cooker does a high pitched beeping. So high pitched my husband who can't hear high pitched sounds can't hear it.
