Mostly because your Wi-Fi enabled Chinese made microwave is listening to you

Many microwaves have a secret way to turn off the beep. Google how to do it on the microwave you have

Never heard of that and doubt it actually.

I was able to turn off the beep on mine. Was no secret though, was explained in manual. Now if I ever get another microwave I’ll know to look up how to turn off the beep.

I meant secret like it’s not a labeled mute button usually. And… you read the manual to your microwave?! Impressive!

If only there were some repository of information one could search to find out if I’m right or not!

I have a Toshiba microwave from like 5 years ago. I hold down the 8 button, it beeps to confirm, and then no more beeps. Works great

Same. I feel a bit ridiculous saying it, but as a frequent late night snacker with sleeping people in the house, it has changed my life. I do what I want care free now while my food is heating. And it’s so simple like you said, just hold 8 to toggle the setting.

Remembering how to disable the beep at 3 a.m. seeems less likely to happen than stopping it early.

Unless you are suggesting to turn off the beep all the time, which is heresy.

What if you could set the microwave to vibrate?

It’s lovely! The beep is too annoying for the service it provides.

Wirhout a beep I can’t say “Pizza’s done!” when ever I microwave anything that isn’t pizza. Food that was started before leaving the room might grow cold and forgotten without the reminder beeps.

Turning the beep off invites chaos!

It’s typically holding down 2 or 8, unless you have a shitty cheap one like mine that doesn’t have that option

Pulled mine open and broke the buzzer with a pair of pliers.

Microwave insides are kinda dangerous though, so don’t recommend doing this yourself unless you know what you’re doing.

I found an option on my Samsung microwave to disable all sounds and it changed my whole world.

I’m sure that’s not even legal!

Also, those people designing microwave sound effects should be strapped to one buzz-ringing bunch and sent into the sun.

Same here. It was a life-changing discovery. Until the power went out and all the settings got reset… Too bad I’m a lazy asshole. Those were some good ol’ days…

I truly appreciate the pic! They’ve been putting in a new housing development nearby, and apparently have no idea how to NOT knock my power out at least once a week (which as a work-from-home programmer is… not ideal). So I am just gonna wait until the blasting calms down before i try to figure it out again lol

The beeper on my 41 yr old Microwave died a few years back during a thunderstorm. It was like a dream come true.

The timer display. Although if you listen really closely you can still hear it try to beep, but you have to be standing right next to it in a quiet room.

Tbh so am I. Bought it used in the early 90’s and only ever replaced the lightbulb in it once. At this rate it’s probably going to outlive me.

I don’t mind the beeping, as long as the microwave shuts the fuck up when I open the door. The ones that keep beeping should be Office Spaced
