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

        Pulled mine open and broke the buzzer with a pair of pliers.

        Microwave insides are kinda dangerous though, so don’t recommend doing this yourself unless you know what you’re doing.

        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!

        If only there were some repository of information one could search to find out if I’m right or not!

        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.
