Mine makes a little music sound, and when I hit the “stop” button it makes a different music sound. If I hit it at just the right time, it makes a nice melody by combining both sounds. I recreated a similar sounding one to it here.
beepbox.co project with the following melody:
A ........ ####.... ........ ........ Ab........ ........ ........ ........ G ........ ........ ........ ........ F#........ ....#### ........ ........ F ........ ........ ........ ........ E ........ ........ ........ ........ Eb........ ........ ........ ........ D ....#### ........ ........ ........ Db........ ........ ........ ........ C ........ ........ ........ ........ B ........ ........ ........ ........ Bb........ ........ ........ ........ A ####.... ........ ........ ........
It depends on how annoying a noise it will make if allowed to finish. I find it odd that the option to disable the beep on completion isn’t common. There’s rarely any urgency to remove what I just heated.
Really? First thing I do after a power outage is turn off the sound on the microwave. I’m not putting stuff in for hours, I’ve not forgotten about it. If I’m not taking it out of the microwave immediately it’s because I’m busy. Settle down, machine.
I’m embarrassed that I’ve never even thought of attempting this… Do all microwaves have that option?
Ofc. Otherwise it beeps.
Turn off the beeps, it’s the only way
I tried every combo and magic trick I could find and mine will not. Sadge.
No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.
Yeah. My microwave makes five beeps whenever the timer runs out, regardless if I open the door or not.
In terms of appliance beeping aggravation, I’ve yet to have one that tops an old slow cooker I had. When you turned it on, it just had a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that lasted for multiple seconds and made me want to throw it out the window every time I had to use it. It was like a goddamn siren alerting the whole apartment complex to the possibility of pot roast in 4-8 hours.
Yes, regularly AND I leave the remaining time on the microwave. It’s pure chaos over here.
My partner does the same thing! The amount of times I’ve looked at the microwave and wondered why time is standing still is too damn high!
I am triggered, please for the love of god and anyone who lives with you JUST CLEAR IT
Stay away from my family!
This is how my wife is. However, weve recently (6 months now) gotten a new microwave and i havent had to clear the time off once. There’s no way shes changed her ways, so this must have a feature to clear remaining time after so long
My husband wants this. Brand?
LG. Pretty sure its this one specifically
LG 2-cu ft 1050-Watt 29.88-in Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking (Printproof Stainless Steel) MVEL2033F at Lowes.com https://share.google/nsL7QDb6vs06tbJTj
Awesome - you may have saved a marriage 😉 Thank you!!
Fucking Monster.
I have kids that I enjoy keeping asleep. There is no reason for that fucking beep to ever occur.
Nominating for best of out-of-context comments.
Is that really out of context? Maybe it’s also because I am a parent, but that was my immediate reaction to the post. Death to all things that beep loudly!!!
No, your comment was perfectly in context. I was nominating it as a perfect addition to an all time greatest list of post that, out of context, are amazing.
That’s what I thought but my wife needs it or she constantly forgets warm beverages in the microwave.
Of course! I’m not going to let a fucking oven tell me when my food is ready. Fuck you, Skynet, this is how the rebellion against the machines starts!
Someone at work does this and doesn’t clear the remaining time. Pisses me off. Press the stop button for the love all that is holy. Look, I know it’s petty.
Not petty, totally fair. In my case, the microwave is the most visible clock from the couch, so I am always annoyed when it’s 00:02 instead of the time. But then again, the power goes out frequently where I live, so it’s not so reliable as a clock in the first place
I have my microwave on silent so I actually prefer to let it finish so I don’t need to press a button to clear those few seconds to have a useful clock back
There’s such a thing as a beepless microwave 😮?
Basically every microwave iv seen in the last 25 years has a way to turn off the beeps.
Read the manual for the shit you own. It’s wild sometimes how hidden options can be.
HOW
WHAT BRAND OF MICROWAVE DO YOU HAVE?
LG #1675079
For older ones I owned, you can open up the control panel and take out the little speaker puck as an irriversable alternative option.
I set mine to vibrate so I feel it in my pocket when it goes off
I used to stop my microwave a few seconds before it finished, like many others, due to the annoying unstoppable beeps. But then I got this smaller unit that happens to let out the faintest confirmation of doneness that I ever did, or rather almost didn’t, hear. I don’t mind it now.
I have this annoying microwave that beeps 5 times when it hits zero, even if I open the door in the middle of it. Kinda rude honestly
Yeah because the thing beeps as if the house is on fire. I’d rather have it stay silent. And 1-3 seconds is not really enough to have any measurable effect.
Microwaves stop by themselves? /j
