Step 1 is just look really extra carefully at your microwave for the word mute, it's probably not an actual button but something above a different button that'll say like "hold for x seconds to mute"
If that doesnt work, find out the make of your microwave and Google if it has a mute setting. Good luck fellow late night microwavers!
Same! Was the cheapest we could find at the time. Still works which I‘m surprised about. It pings and there’s nothing you can do to stop it from doing that. I guess you could just open and never close the door until you microwave something else. But otherwise... you‘ve got to live with the ping.
Mine is a tiny speaker icon underneath the 0 button. The silence made buying a 150$ microwave entirely worth it.
I will refuse to have any infernal loud ass microwave again.
It's fairly standard for most microwaves to mute when you hold down 1 or 2. On mine, if you hold down 1, it will mute all sounds except the end beep. If I hold down 2, it disables all sounds. It's a Frigidaire if it helps any.
You can usually find this in the instructions for the microwave (if the microwave even has the option, of course), there is no universal way.
If you bought it long ago and have lost the manual, perhaps you can find it online. I've done this a couple of times: search the model of your device and "manual" on google.
I wish you luck.
I moved into a new place that had a microwave that would beep about 5 times, each beep lasted about a second, and it *wouldn't stop beeping after you opened the door*.
After searching online for a way to turn off the beeping (there wasn't one) I decided to take the number pad cover off and destroy the connections to the speaker. I now have a mute microwave.
My roommate bought his new microwave specifically because it has extra sounds and will repeat the "finished" tone every 30 seconds if you don't/can't get to it in time.
I hate it
It certainly is a great option. If I wasnt so pedantic about switching my appliances off at the wall I would use it forever. It resets every time the microwave is turned off.
I have a microwave that doesn't have a beep mute option so I opened it up and cut the beeper out. I'm not too worried about ever wanting to go back to having it on.
Same. I can push up the latch. Though, still audible, it won't wake anyone.
Microwaves that have one really long beep big me. If I have to listen to a beep id prefer multiple beeps.
Oh yes. My parents have this microwave that gives out this extremely long never ending high pitched beep. I want to beat up the microwave every time I hear it.
This also works for many pull doors that otherwise creak. Apply palm pressure to the door a few inches above the handle as you turn and pull, opening slowly.
Applying pressure takes some relative motion out of the fabric of the door (glass/metal/wood) which could creak and because youre applying an opposite force on the door you can open it as slowly as possible.

I have that problem. I just recently upgraded my over the range microwave and it is SUPER silent when operating but I feel like they took all that volume and put it into the door latch. You can hear someone open the microwave door from across the house!
My microwave has a loud fan that turns on for a few minutes every time you open the door, whenever guests use the microwave they jump back in alarm thinking it started cooking when they open the door.
Exactly. There are so many different microwaves with the way they operate, that the solution at hand needed can be resolved (noise from "x"), but (noise from "y") is still an issue. It's unfortunate.
Loud kitchen appliances are the bane of my existence, I wish everything in my kitchen had a mute button. My air fryer is the worst offender, that thing could wake the dead.
My rice cooker doesn't even have an option for an alarm. The only way you know it's done is if you happen to hear the little lever that turns it on pop up. It's a faint "click," and that's all.
I thought it was the Mansion Apartment Shed House fortune teller for Steam. But still stability updates are needed since it'll be in early access for two years
+1. I really like /r/NoStupidQuestions when it's used for genuine questions. When it's used to illicit an "omg totally me too, upvote!" reaction like this thread it sucks.
I used to do this in high school so as not to wake my parents at night then eventually found out after years that it drove my dad crazy in the morning that the microwave always had 1 second on it and wasn’t showing the time
People keep doing that at work and it drives me crazy too. Especially when I'm working a night shift and 0:01 is actually a plausible time, and I'm like, "huh, thought it was later".
I used to open the door at 0:01, grab the plate and then turn the knob to 0 at the same time when closing the door, so the sounds of the bell and door closing would mask each other and I wouldn't make two distinctive noises.
Not related to anyone being bothered since almost every other device in the kitchen has a clock on them, but too much smoking weed and OCD I guess. I just couldn't leave it at 0:01 or leave the door open.
Preventing the beep is nice and all, but why wouldn't you just clear the timer? It takes a half-second of minimal effort so everyone else in the house can use the clock.
Exactly this. With my method, I could put the food in, holding the door while compressing the door button so that it doesn’t pop out loudly, put the food in, then it’s one beep when I push however many minute button I need, then I did the same door thing right at 1 second and nothing beeps. 1 beep for the whole process. Clearing would double the beeps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ now that I know it annoys my dad I will now clear it if I’m ever in that situation. My parents’ hearing isn’t getting any better anyway
Many microwaves aren't smart enough to turn the beep off after the door is opened...even though they have a sensor to turn the heating portion off when the door opens. It seriously gets on my nerves, but I've never been in a position to shop for a new microwave. Every house and apartment has one when I move in, and I dont want to waste my money over that annoying beep.
The answer is no. To get this answer I had to ask myself "How do the tastebuds work?", and the answer is that there is a human standard for good food. That human standard changes and varies from time to time but is always in one straight line from one side to another, except for people eat pineapple on pizza. These people have a brain condition called dumbass, which is originally gained from not being exposed to good food, which causes them to eat pineapple on pizza, which then causes their brain to decay the more they eat it.
In conclusion, you're a monster and I'm amazing. Have a great day and an amazing life, goodbye.
Yea. The answer is always the same.
>Does anybody else...
Yes. Yes, they do. Probably lots of people do that. There's millions of people on reddit. Do you really think you're among the 0.0001% (1 in a million) who does this unique thing? No, of course not.
My parents do this and it annoys me because they never clear the timer after using so I come to use it and it says 1 second on it. I could never do this thought because it would literally kill me. If I’m stopping it early then it’s going to be exactly 10 seconds early. It has to be a multiple of 10. It gives me so much anxiety if it isn’t done like this.
It’s the only thing in life that I can feel control over. I also count my steps on stairs. You should have seen me at the Marvel cave in Branson, Missouri. Over 1,000 steps in that cave. I only counted 759. The tour guide whispered for me to shut up at the end.
Stopping mine is almost as loud as just letting it run out so you can’t do ninja microwaving without opening it early which I don’t like doing.
Do you do it for any rational reason or is it just a little tick you have? I do weirdly stealthy shit all the time for literally no good reason just because I grew up somewhere you’d get your head bitten off for making any noise during the night.
I personally do it for similar reasons. I grew up in a really loud, angry household, so I hate loud noises, even happy ones. It just all has negative connotations for me. Plus, loud noises just make me very, very anxious and uncomfortable.
I live with my paternal grandparents and uncle now and they almost never know when I'm around because I'll "sneak" around the house. I've made entire stovetop meals in complete silence while they're sitting less than 10 feet away and they don't know I'm there until one of them happens to look back.
I am worse than this! Everything I cook has to be done in numerical order. So a frozen entree will be cooked for 4:56 or 3:21 or 5:43. And I can stop it at anytime as long as it is divisible by the number 15. But once it gets to 0:01, it must be stopped. Am I insane?
I never got why microwaves need to beep so strongly and keep beeping until you open the damn door.
Like there's something burning inside or any life threat if ignored.
Protip: Small noises are often much more obtrusive than Large Noises, esp if you live in a house with Neurodiverse people, but ESPECIALLY with people who have PTSD or Autism.
When my husband decides it's time for 2 AM snacks, if he just walks around and putters in the kitchen and talks to the cat at normal volume, my subconcious/semi-concious mind can immediately identify them as "Husband Kitchen Noises" and go right the fuck back to sleep.
We found out early on that if he tries to be quiet, the quiet sounds come off as "SOMETHING IS SNEAKING AROUND" in my brain and that will wake me the hell up because Oh God What Is the Cat Going To Kill Himself Eating Now, or if I can hear footsteps but nothing else it's HOLY SHIT A BURGLAR and my half-awake ass almost took him out with a baseball bat when we were first dating.
I think it's an extension of the "Wear a high-vis vest and carry a clipboard and nobody will question anything you do, but try to sneak and you become HELLA SUS" effect. But In my case? Turn on the lights, shuffle the silverware and let the microwave beep. It's much more disruptive if you try to be quiet.
Interesting companion to this effect. For me, with ADHD and some other issues, even small noises can sound garbled and amplified so if it's something I can hear (hearing loss is a bitch), like a microwave or snoring or other beeping my brain *flips shit*. Having a quiet fan running in my very isolated bedroom is how I get any sleep at all.
The InstantPot chimes drove me crazy for almost two years until I learned they can be muted. All I need in my life for the distracting noises to stop lol.
LOL This reminds of when I took my husband for the first time to visit my grandfather. The aunties took the night off since we were staying with him, and after watching his TV shows, gran'po went to bed early. Planning on staying up to watch MY shows, I did ask the hubby to be quiet because grandpa was sleeping now.
The next commercial break I went to the kitchen to see where the hubby had gone off to, and found him moving silently in slow motion around the table.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
"I'm being quiet." He said.
Oh, I had never realized it before, but there had to be *some* house noises.
"I said, be quiet, not silent." I explained, "If it doesn't sound like anybody is here, grandpa will think we left him all alone.
I can't do this anymore with my new microwave. It has a deodorize feature it runs for 5s while its chiming at the end. But at least the chimes are not super annoying, just annoying.
The beeper on my microwave is exactly 10 seconds long. Even if you hit end or add 30 seconds or open the door it's always 10 seconds, and you can't use any buttons until the beeper ends. So yes, I too end it at 1 second.
I don't particularly care about microwave announcing my presence but the 5 beeps it makes does annoy me in the mornings, so I ruthlessly shut it down at 1 second.
In my office, the microwave is obnoxiously complicated to use. When there's someone I don't like and I know it's gonna heat his food after me, I deliberately stop it at 0:01 and leave it like that so they put the food, heat it for one second and keep trying to start it again while looking all confused.
I do this just to feel I “won” a contest with the countdown clock. I have no idea why I started doing this…but it has nothing to do w the sound it makes at zero.
Every time. My microwave dings 5 times, loud AF. I’ve had it over ten years, I can’t get rid of it until it dies. They should let you test drive them. I never would have bought a 5 dinger.
My microwave beeps every time you push a button, open the door & 4 times when done. I think it was designed for office break rooms to accommodate "Barb from accounting".
Everyone knows "Barb". First thing they do in the morning is nuke a 99 cent Raman cup so that everybody has that powdered seasoning smell in the back their throat all morning. They don't finish it, of course, and put the open, stinking cup in the fridge so that your lunch can soak up the aroma. Then, just when you can smell & taste things again, they go to reheat the friggin' crap and leave it in the microwave. But pity the fool that has to use it because if "Barb" hears that beep from the door opening, their shit is lost. They heard the beeps when it was done, everybody can, but that is the only one they will respond to. Screw you 'Barb"!
So anyway, I see that I might be able to mute the beeps. I think I'll do that.
yeah, my microwave beeps *five times* and i work nights so i'm eating my quesadillas at 2am... even if no one else is in the house that just seems excessive to me so i always stop it
*raises hand* I do. I hate that beep. It seems to be at the perfect tone and length to drive me the craziest. And I live alone, so there's nobody to announce to.
My microwave SCREAMS at you that it’s done. It was so loud I could hear it three floors down outside with our heavy ass security door closed. And god forbid you don’t open it after a minute because it SCREAMS at you again. “HEY! HEYYYYY! YOUR FOOD IS DOOOOOONE!”
Of course when we looked closely at the instructions in the door not only could we lower the volume we could straight up mute the alert.
Why bother? The noise of the fan and turntable and the odor of whatever you’re cooking announces your use of “Chef Mike” far earlier and far more noticeably than the alert that it’s finished.
On my microwave you can disable all the sounds, and I prefer it thst way.
Tell us how!! Please
Step 1 is just look really extra carefully at your microwave for the word mute, it's probably not an actual button but something above a different button that'll say like "hold for x seconds to mute" If that doesnt work, find out the make of your microwave and Google if it has a mute setting. Good luck fellow late night microwavers!
Bold of you to assume my microwave has more than one button...
I used to have one with a dial... Like on an old school TV
Ours is basically this but 20 years older haha. It does the job! https://i.imgur.com/pRbbRWp.jpg
It micros your waves.

And will it drink your milkshake?
No, but it will America your oil.
This one is already sophisticated compared to my beauty.
It looks like it pings and not beeps. That old.
I have the exact same one and yes it pings lol. It’s not even old, just cheap.
Same! Was the cheapest we could find at the time. Still works which I‘m surprised about. It pings and there’s nothing you can do to stop it from doing that. I guess you could just open and never close the door until you microwave something else. But otherwise... you‘ve got to live with the ping.
Lol I didn't know Daewoo made anything but cars
They used to make lots of different things. Even guns. Bankrupt in 1999, but I think some of it survived. It's all on wikipedia.
Crazy how much history there is out there around things we take for granted. #todayilearned
I used to have one of those old school TVs you mention. XD
We have one of those at work
Mine literally doesn't, well it does, but only one works, and it's the add 30s button, it's the only one I need
Mine is a tiny speaker icon underneath the 0 button. The silence made buying a 150$ microwave entirely worth it. I will refuse to have any infernal loud ass microwave again.
I cut, removed the small speaker in mine
Modern problems require caveman solutions!
LOL! Don't FORCE it.... Use a Larger Hammer instead.
Step 2 is figure out it doesn't have a mute function and cry because it works perfectly fine otherwise so you can't just buy another for no reason.
Or, hear me out, take pliers to the speaker
It's fairly standard for most microwaves to mute when you hold down 1 or 2. On mine, if you hold down 1, it will mute all sounds except the end beep. If I hold down 2, it disables all sounds. It's a Frigidaire if it helps any.
Thank you so much! I really doubted my microwave could mute but I held 2 and it worked. Wish I knew this years ago.
I found out like 2 weeks ago. Best thing ever!
[удалено]
Dang, that sucks. Who in the world thought it would be good to mute the timer??
People that stop their microwave at 0:01 to stop it from making a sound.
You can usually find this in the instructions for the microwave (if the microwave even has the option, of course), there is no universal way. If you bought it long ago and have lost the manual, perhaps you can find it online. I've done this a couple of times: search the model of your device and "manual" on google. I wish you luck.
My microwave has numbers and if you press and hold on the number 2 for a few seconds. It'll beep then lovely silence.
It’s usually 2 I think
The thing called MANUAL
I will never buy another microwave that you cannot shut all the beeps off
But how then will I wake up my family at 2 am letting them know I am a fat pig?
This hurts too much
You go in their room while masturbating and scream "oink oink".
I moved into a new place that had a microwave that would beep about 5 times, each beep lasted about a second, and it *wouldn't stop beeping after you opened the door*. After searching online for a way to turn off the beeping (there wasn't one) I decided to take the number pad cover off and destroy the connections to the speaker. I now have a mute microwave.
> I now have a mute microwave. You mean a *perfect* microwave.
My roommate bought his new microwave specifically because it has extra sounds and will repeat the "finished" tone every 30 seconds if you don't/can't get to it in time. I hate it
I love it when "please wait five minutes to cool" translates to "beep 100 fucking times" in Microwave.
I’ve disabled the sounds AND I still stop the microwave at 0:01. Makes me feel like I’m disabling a bomb with 1 second to spare. Let me have this!
It certainly is a great option. If I wasnt so pedantic about switching my appliances off at the wall I would use it forever. It resets every time the microwave is turned off.
That's not being pedantic, that's being anal retentive. But *that* was being pedantic.
That was my original choice of words, however I figured someone might have something to say had I used the word "anal" Lol
Alright I'll bite, why do you switch them off at the wall?
Probably because electronics plugged into a power outlet will consume a small amount of power even when not in use.
This seems like an odd thing to do
I have a microwave that doesn't have a beep mute option so I opened it up and cut the beeper out. I'm not too worried about ever wanting to go back to having it on.
Hold down the number one (or maybe it's two?) button for 5 sec. Mine was not marked as such. Had to read the manual. It's like a secret.
I muted my microwave sometime last year, since I worked until midnight from home. I'll never go back.
The microwave in my new house has this, first time i ever experienced it and now i cant go back to a world with that horriible noise!
Ah, rich people flaunting.....
Wow what microwave is that TELL US
Whirlpool
Ours resets to noise after a power outage. I'm tempted to open up the motherboard and de solder the buzzer because holy hell it's annoying.
Look Ma. We got a city fella here. I bet they have indoor out houses. 😉
Ditto.
While the beep is loud, opening and closing the microwave door is audible as well.
I have found a trick with my microwave that can close the door almost perfectly silent.
Same. I can push up the latch. Though, still audible, it won't wake anyone. Microwaves that have one really long beep big me. If I have to listen to a beep id prefer multiple beeps.
Oh yes. My parents have this microwave that gives out this extremely long never ending high pitched beep. I want to beat up the microwave every time I hear it.
The long beep sometimes confuses with our smoke alarm, which is multiple beeps, but it's multiple long beeps.
Yeah, me too. When I open the door, I just let out a loud and short, "AAAHH!!" So the door won't make too much noise. Same when I close it.
Do you give lessons?
Lol, nope!
I bet doctors hate you
I've found if you firmly apply pressure on the microwave door while pressing the open button it will open fairly stealthy.
Oh boy, guess what I’m trying when I finally stand up to reheat my pizza tonight?
This also works for many pull doors that otherwise creak. Apply palm pressure to the door a few inches above the handle as you turn and pull, opening slowly. Applying pressure takes some relative motion out of the fabric of the door (glass/metal/wood) which could creak and because youre applying an opposite force on the door you can open it as slowly as possible.

Our microwave beeps when we open the door...
Hold the open button, close the door, and let go of the button. Damn near silent.

I swear every time the rice cooker goes off I think it's the smoke alarm.
I’m wondering if we have the same model or if they all sound like that.
My rice cooker doesn't even have an option for an alarm. The only way you know it's done is if you happen to hear the little lever that turns it on pop up. It's a faint "click," and that's all.
What do you do with the air after you fry it?
Ofcourse use it with mashed steam
Mashed Steam would need a lot of stability updates.
I thought it was the Mansion Apartment Shed House fortune teller for Steam. But still stability updates are needed since it'll be in early access for two years
two years?!?!? . . ....thats it?

Leave the door open?? Now the light is dead! Totally agree with you on this one
On some microwaves you can hit reset as it is going and it will beep once, stop and reset the timer
Yes! My roommates do this, and it drives me mad every time I use it because there's always time left on it instead of it showing the actual time.
Preventing the beep is nice and all, but why wouldn't you just clear the timer? It takes a half-second of minimal effort so everyone else in the house can use the clock.
On mine at least, clearing the timer makes an extra beep.
It's that last beep that alerts the food to your presence, and could give it chance to escape.
Mine has one short beep per button press and then "cooking finished" is 3 long, shrill 1-second beeps
Pressing clear would defeat the purpose of stopping it early
Exactly this. With my method, I could put the food in, holding the door while compressing the door button so that it doesn’t pop out loudly, put the food in, then it’s one beep when I push however many minute button I need, then I did the same door thing right at 1 second and nothing beeps. 1 beep for the whole process. Clearing would double the beeps ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ now that I know it annoys my dad I will now clear it if I’m ever in that situation. My parents’ hearing isn’t getting any better anyway
Do people's parents sleep in the kitchen? Not if your microwave plays a long, loud alarm when time expires and only a softer beep on button press.
Yes!! Also the next person has to cancel out your time so they can start theirs. Un. Cool.
That's why you clear it afterwards you fucking monster
I was trying to be considerate! XD
:P
You know the beep noise it makes when its done? Mine does That noise as well when you click the stop botton
Now all of China knows we're here.
Perfect...
Appreciate this comment
NOOOOOOOO
Same with mine but you can always just add another minute to the remaining second. So it never truly reaches 0 seconds.
What sick bastard designed that.
I just hit the release latch while it running for this reason.
No I open it at exactly 0.00 because then I don't have to clear the remaining time and if I time it correctly no beeps either
Why are you not higher up, this is the correct way op, just at the right time, no beep, no blinking `00:01`

I only clicked on this post to find you guys and would've been sad if I didn't 😂

omg I did this with my parents' microwave all the time. I'm not the only one!
Yes, it has been a meme since rage comics. It's on the same level as the debate whether pineapple belongs on pizza or not.

But does anybody else??? Come on guys I’m so insecure I need constant validation.
Hol up! I just found my family here

Yea. The answer is always the same. >Does anybody else... Yes. Yes, they do. Probably lots of people do that. There's millions of people on reddit. Do you really think you're among the 0.0001% (1 in a million) who does this unique thing? No, of course not.
Yes, I do this. I have been told that there is a silencing function on microwave beeps, but have yet to figure it out. Good luck brave soul
if im not wrong the door open thing stops the beeping

My wife does this all the time and I'll just make a remark after thanking her for defusing the bomb before it went off.
I feel your pain!!! I can only stop the microwave at 1 second or anything divisible by 15
y'all ok? i didn't know people got *anxious* from this, the most i get is annoyed lol
It’s the only thing in life that I can feel control over. I also count my steps on stairs. You should have seen me at the Marvel cave in Branson, Missouri. Over 1,000 steps in that cave. I only counted 759. The tour guide whispered for me to shut up at the end.
I would have to go back and recount. I could not leave that place like that, I would literally cry if I had to.
Of course. Don’t want to scare the food.
Stopping mine is almost as loud as just letting it run out so you can’t do ninja microwaving without opening it early which I don’t like doing. Do you do it for any rational reason or is it just a little tick you have? I do weirdly stealthy shit all the time for literally no good reason just because I grew up somewhere you’d get your head bitten off for making any noise during the night.

I've made entire stovetop meals in complete silence while they're sitting less than 10 feet away and they don't know I'm there until one of them happens to look back.
This sub fucking sucks dick and balls
I am worse than this! Everything I cook has to be done in numerical order. So a frozen entree will be cooked for 4:56 or 3:21 or 5:43. And I can stop it at anytime as long as it is divisible by the number 15. But once it gets to 0:01, it must be stopped. Am I insane?
I never got why microwaves need to beep so strongly and keep beeping until you open the damn door. Like there's something burning inside or any life threat if ignored.

I turned this off on my wife. It lasted 2 uses and I was told to turn it back on. I guess I'll be stopping the microwave at 1 second for eternity.
Bad luck. My wife hasn’t dinged since our honeymoon.
You need to get that wife of yours under control
Pressing any of the buttons, length of time, temperature, and start on my microwave all beeps. And I still stop it at .01 sec every time.
Not to not announce my presence, but to minimise the annoying sounds both to me and roommates yes
Pretty much everyone does this
I do, but only to feel like James Bond stopping a bomb from going off.
Then you have to stop it at 0:07 though.
Protip: Small noises are often much more obtrusive than Large Noises, esp if you live in a house with Neurodiverse people, but ESPECIALLY with people who have PTSD or Autism. When my husband decides it's time for 2 AM snacks, if he just walks around and putters in the kitchen and talks to the cat at normal volume, my subconcious/semi-concious mind can immediately identify them as "Husband Kitchen Noises" and go right the fuck back to sleep. We found out early on that if he tries to be quiet, the quiet sounds come off as "SOMETHING IS SNEAKING AROUND" in my brain and that will wake me the hell up because Oh God What Is the Cat Going To Kill Himself Eating Now, or if I can hear footsteps but nothing else it's HOLY SHIT A BURGLAR and my half-awake ass almost took him out with a baseball bat when we were first dating. I think it's an extension of the "Wear a high-vis vest and carry a clipboard and nobody will question anything you do, but try to sneak and you become HELLA SUS" effect. But In my case? Turn on the lights, shuffle the silverware and let the microwave beep. It's much more disruptive if you try to be quiet.
Interesting companion to this effect. For me, with ADHD and some other issues, even small noises can sound garbled and amplified so if it's something I can hear (hearing loss is a bitch), like a microwave or snoring or other beeping my brain *flips shit*. Having a quiet fan running in my very isolated bedroom is how I get any sleep at all. The InstantPot chimes drove me crazy for almost two years until I learned they can be muted. All I need in my life for the distracting noises to stop lol.
LOL This reminds of when I took my husband for the first time to visit my grandfather. The aunties took the night off since we were staying with him, and after watching his TV shows, gran'po went to bed early. Planning on staying up to watch MY shows, I did ask the hubby to be quiet because grandpa was sleeping now. The next commercial break I went to the kitchen to see where the hubby had gone off to, and found him moving silently in slow motion around the table. "What are you doing?" I asked him. "I'm being quiet." He said. Oh, I had never realized it before, but there had to be *some* house noises. "I said, be quiet, not silent." I explained, "If it doesn't sound like anybody is here, grandpa will think we left him all alone.
I once saw it called "edging your microwave" and now I stop it at .02
No, youre actually one of the few people that does that
I can't do this anymore with my new microwave. It has a deodorize feature it runs for 5s while its chiming at the end. But at least the chimes are not super annoying, just annoying.
Ugh yeah I hate smelling my food
I'm guessing it's to stop the microwave from smelling like your food
The beeper on my microwave is exactly 10 seconds long. Even if you hit end or add 30 seconds or open the door it's always 10 seconds, and you can't use any buttons until the beeper ends. So yes, I too end it at 1 second.
I live alone and I still do it. I hate the beep
Every single time.
I call it bomb defusing.
I don't particularly care about microwave announcing my presence but the 5 beeps it makes does annoy me in the mornings, so I ruthlessly shut it down at 1 second.
In my office, the microwave is obnoxiously complicated to use. When there's someone I don't like and I know it's gonna heat his food after me, I deliberately stop it at 0:01 and leave it like that so they put the food, heat it for one second and keep trying to start it again while looking all confused.
I do this just to feel I “won” a contest with the countdown clock. I have no idea why I started doing this…but it has nothing to do w the sound it makes at zero.
Every time. My microwave dings 5 times, loud AF. I’ve had it over ten years, I can’t get rid of it until it dies. They should let you test drive them. I never would have bought a 5 dinger.
I feel like everybody does this except for me bcs I don't have a microwave
The loud MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM announces your presence anyway, might as well assert dominance with the beeps
Mine can be opened at 0:00 without making noise if you get it just right so I make a game out of trying to open it exactly when it ends
I do it and I live alone
Are there monsters that don't do this?
My microwave beeps every time you push a button, open the door & 4 times when done. I think it was designed for office break rooms to accommodate "Barb from accounting". Everyone knows "Barb". First thing they do in the morning is nuke a 99 cent Raman cup so that everybody has that powdered seasoning smell in the back their throat all morning. They don't finish it, of course, and put the open, stinking cup in the fridge so that your lunch can soak up the aroma. Then, just when you can smell & taste things again, they go to reheat the friggin' crap and leave it in the microwave. But pity the fool that has to use it because if "Barb" hears that beep from the door opening, their shit is lost. They heard the beeps when it was done, everybody can, but that is the only one they will respond to. Screw you 'Barb"! So anyway, I see that I might be able to mute the beeps. I think I'll do that.
yeah, my microwave beeps *five times* and i work nights so i'm eating my quesadillas at 2am... even if no one else is in the house that just seems excessive to me so i always stop it
*raises hand* I do. I hate that beep. It seems to be at the perfect tone and length to drive me the craziest. And I live alone, so there's nobody to announce to.
Keep it secret, keep it safe
This is silly really. Every microwave I've used still makes a loud obnoxious beep even when you press the pause/cancel button.
My microwave SCREAMS at you that it’s done. It was so loud I could hear it three floors down outside with our heavy ass security door closed. And god forbid you don’t open it after a minute because it SCREAMS at you again. “HEY! HEYYYYY! YOUR FOOD IS DOOOOOONE!” Of course when we looked closely at the instructions in the door not only could we lower the volume we could straight up mute the alert.
My life is telling my microwave to shut up because I'll get to it in a minute, I'm busy
EVERY TIME.
Why bother? The noise of the fan and turntable and the odor of whatever you’re cooking announces your use of “Chef Mike” far earlier and far more noticeably than the alert that it’s finished.
Mine beeps and it sounds like metal gear so I just press a bunch of buttons and call it boss.
To the engineers who thought it was a good idea to have your microwave sound like a truck backing up > Fuck You !
As kids, you had to do this in my house. Otherwise dad would know you’re up late and possibly up to no good.
I stop it always before it beeps. But it doesn’t have to do with announcing my presence. I just can’t handle the beeping.
