    I’ve got misophonia and this sounds like hell. My microwave beeps 6 times, which is 5 too many in my opinion. But hey at least it makes me rush to the microwave and open it asap to shut it up.

    Edit: actually, lately I’ve just been standing by it waiting instead of doing other stuff. I hate forgetting about it and then getting severe discomfort from the beeps.

      My microwave when done: beep. beep. beep. beep. beep.

      My microwave stopped one second early to head off the unnecessary beeps: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

        Mine then sits there with the timer at 00:01 until I press the Stop/Reset button yet again, like some sort of animal.

      Get one that only does one little bell ding

      Anecdote: A friend of mine has a fridge that makes a two tone beep every time you open/close the darn thing. I would go insane.

        My old one did and recently had to replace it. Didn’t know this one would beep so much and I can’t justify replacing a new microwave just because it beeps too many times.

        That fridge sounds horrible and I probably would end up replacing that, or at least try everything I could to disable the beeps lol

          Have had this issue as well, just find the speakers and poke a few holes through them, destroying as much as you can, or cut the wires connecting them if you can reach it. If you go the destruction route, make sure to properly destroy the membrane though, otherwise it might make annoying buzzing sounds instead.

            I might actually do that. I don’t think there’s any reason I need to have sounds tbh. But I’ll have a look for some settings first in case I can just turn it off.

        I’ve tried to find the setting for it, need to look more. But forgetting food in the microwave isn’t the end of the world, not like forgetting something in an oven that’s still on
