You Can Stop Your Microwave from Beeping—Here’s How

How to Silence a Microwave

Timers and alarms are important—they signal that your food is ready, like when your microwave mug cake is done. But sometimes, noise is the last thing we need, and it can be a relief to have the option to turn off incessant beeping. Fortunately, many microwaves come with a « silent mode. »

Here are a few ways to deactivate those sounds:

1. Look for the Sound Button
This is the easiest method, and one I can personally vouch for. Some microwaves have a button labeled with a sound or speaker icon, or it may simply say « sound. » If you find this button, all you need to do is press it, and the beeping will turn off.
