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.
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
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 need a microwave that emits a continuous tone until I empty it…

There’s a way to shut off the beeping entirely on most microwaves, but then forgetting your food is much more likely.

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.

This only applies if you’re sure you don’t want any sounds, of course.

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.
My microwave does that… in online chats my friends heard the beeping through my microphone, and still have had to remind me to take it out before too.
Alarm Fatigue
Mine beeps 4 times, then once every 30 seconds or something until I open it. Super useful feature for me.
On the other hand, my dishwasher does not make any sound when it’s done, so I don’t think I’ve ever let the dishes dry properly.
