Just because you can hear it doesn’t mean everyone can. Beeps are interruptive too.
my grandfather cant even hear the beeping, let alone if the microwave is running.
they make some devices that electrocute you when running and when they’re done, stop.
This is comforting. Thank you.
Agreed that companies need to lower the note of their beeps to old-man hearing tones.
Also hum of a microwave is fairly easy to tune out.
And increasing beeping volume would be good. First beep should be nearly muted. 4th beep should be judging.

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.

Mine doesn’t have any kind of mute option, I checked the manual.
I had one like that. I de-soldered the beeper lolfuckthat

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

Beeping makes my skin crawl!

It’s probably way cheaper to add a speaker than an actual, physical bell. But I agree. My microwave dings and I’m fine with that.
My ADHD brain can barely remember putting something in the microwave. I need the beep to remind myself to check it
Or make idk, a bamboo rod sound or something calming
