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…
. if I knew your model, I’d look it up for youI 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
Many microwaves have a secret way to turn off the beep. Google how to do it on the microwave you have
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.
to turn off the beep all the time, which is heresy.
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!
What? No way, i want my microwave like my phone - absolutely no notification noises
What if you could set the microwave to vibrate?
Me, already with the speaker ripped out by the cord: Arbiter battle cry
It’s typically holding down 2 or 8, unless you have a shitty cheap one like mine that doesn’t have that option
Never heard of that and doubt it actually.
If only there were some repository of information one could search to find out if I’m right or not!
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!
The beeper on my 41 yr old Microwave died a few years back during a thunderstorm. It was like a dream come true.
Buthow do you know it’s finished?
BRRRRRRRGRRRRRRBRRRRRR. click.
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.
I was just joking microwave owens usualy are loud as fuck. And Then they add a loud BEEP like you didn’t hear the jet engine shut down aaargh + new BEEP every 30 seconds too for sure.
I figured lol. Mind you this one isn’t all that loud when it runs… mainly just fan noise that drowns out the hum unless the rotating plate starts squeeking and sings the song of its people.
I much prefer that over the old sound… always sounded like a 3 ton truck was backing up in the kitchen when it went off.
Ha ha yeah mine is like from 1980 RRRRRRTRRRBRRRR…BEEEEP
All that rain dancing finally paid off!
I know everyone in here is talking about microwaves and air fryers, but I’d like to add my complaint about my clothes dryer to the mix.
So for some ungodly reason, my dryer will make a loud blaring buzzing alarm repeatedly. It is the loudest fucking thing I’ve ever heard and last for like a full on 5 seconds at a time. This would be one thing. I’m used to dryers alerting you that it’s the end of the cycle.
BUT…it does it three fucking times. The loudest sound you’ve ever heard for the longest time you’ve ever heard. Then repeat that two more times. It likes to alert you repeatedly when the cycle is almost finished. Never in my life have I had a clothes dryer to that and it’s absolutely infuriating. There is no setting to disable it. I have half a mind to open the goddamn thing and try to destroy the end of cycle buzzer.
There is absolutely zero to have a buzzer blaring that loud, long, and repeatedly doing it. I’d prefer fucking silence.
My air fryer beeps VERY LOUDLY 5 times when it’s done, the default time is 15 minutes and it beeps for every minute change you do which is so dumb. Most things only need 6-10 minutes so I just start it as is and then set a timer on my phone and keep it in my pocket so I’ll feel it vibrate when the food is done.
Mine is luckily quiet enough that it can only be heard from the kitchen.
Mine does one singular ding and I appreciate it a lot.
what stealth mission gear microwave does bro have
I think it is an old LG microwave and oven grill combo.
I dunno what the problem is, but some time ago the rotating plate in my microwave started slipping off the thing that turns it or something so everytime the microwave is used, you just hear thump, thump, thump, thump the whole time. It doesn’t look broken and it’s clean; I can’t figure out why it started doing this but damn is it loud and annoying.
Rubber wearing out
Especially if you missed it because you were browsing TikTok
A friend who’d just had a basement theater installed told me that materials tend to absorb sound waves that have wavelength shorter than the thickness of the material.
This is why bass can be heard from outside the club, but you only hear the rest when the door opens.
It’s also why various timer chimes are high pitched. In a place without soundproof walls, that high pitched beep is less likely to disturb your neighbor.
Electronics should be silent now. Only boomers thought boops and beeps made shit futuristic.
