I found an option on my Samsung microwave to disable all sounds and it changed my whole world.

Many microwaves have a secret way to turn off the beep. Google how to do it on the microwave you have

The beeper on my 41 yr old Microwave died a few years back during a thunderstorm. It was like a dream come true.

Why do appliances have to be so noisy. A friend of mine's washer does a whole song whenever it does anything. We'll be playing a game and I'll hear it on his end, chiming away, and he's just ignores it. I don't know how.

Like, I don't even understand the point: if you're going to jump up and take care of it immediately, you'd probably notice when it's done, if not, then you'll get to it when you get to it.

Same with microwaves: if you can't keep it on your mind for 90 seconds, it can sit in there and chill for ten minutes until you remember you had food nuking.

I don't mind the beeping, as long as the microwave shuts the fuck up when I open the door. The ones that keep beeping should be Office Spaced

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.

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.

Btw, can you just ripp the beeper out or need to replace with a resistor?

My microwave goes off every 15 seconds with a full beep cycle after hitting zero.

God forbid I go to the bathroom while warming up leftovers without blaring to the whole neighborhood that I haven't responded to my microwave's needs quickly enough.

Had to just rip the piezo speaker out of mine. 100% recommend

Mine is luckily quiet enough that it can only be heard from the kitchen.

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.

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.
