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

        I have a Toshiba microwave from like 5 years ago. I hold down the 8 button, it beeps to confirm, and then no more beeps. Works great

          Same. I feel a bit ridiculous saying it, but as a frequent late night snacker with sleeping people in the house, it has changed my life. I do what I want care free now while my food is heating. And it’s so simple like you said, just hold 8 to toggle the setting.

    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.

    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.
