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.

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.

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.

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