    Mine makes a little music sound, and when I hit the “stop” button it makes a different music sound. If I hit it at just the right time, it makes a nice melody by combining both sounds. I recreated a similar sounding one to it here.

    beepbox.co project with the following melody:

    A ........ ####.... ........ ........
    Ab........ ........ ........ ........
    G ........ ........ ........ ........
    F#........ ....#### ........ ........
    F ........ ........ ........ ........
    E ........ ........ ........ ........
    Eb........ ........ ........ ........
    D ....#### ........ ........ ........
    Db........ ........ ........ ........
    C ........ ........ ........ ........
    B ........ ........ ........ ........
    Bb........ ........ ........ ........
    A ####.... ........ ........ ........

    No. But my wife does and doesn’t reset the display so it’ll just show 3 rather than the time.

    I have kids that I enjoy keeping asleep. There is no reason for that fucking beep to ever occur.

    Of course! I’m not going to let a fucking oven tell me when my food is ready. Fuck you, Skynet, this is how the rebellion against the machines starts!

    It depends on how annoying a noise it will make if allowed to finish. I find it odd that the option to disable the beep on completion isn’t common. There’s rarely any urgency to remove what I just heated.

      Really? First thing I do after a power outage is turn off the sound on the microwave. I’m not putting stuff in for hours, I’ve not forgotten about it. If I’m not taking it out of the microwave immediately it’s because I’m busy. Settle down, machine.

    Yeah. My microwave makes five beeps whenever the timer runs out, regardless if I open the door or not.

    In terms of appliance beeping aggravation, I’ve yet to have one that tops an old slow cooker I had. When you turned it on, it just had a beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep that lasted for multiple seconds and made me want to throw it out the window every time I had to use it. It was like a goddamn siren alerting the whole apartment complex to the possibility of pot roast in 4-8 hours.

    Yeah because the thing beeps as if the house is on fire. I’d rather have it stay silent. And 1-3 seconds is not really enough to have any measurable effect.

    No, I don’t get that urge. Ours takes awhile to get things where I like it. If I make 3 cups of rice I leave it in there for 17 minutes 😬

    god forbid we let people customize these things. we’ll jam AI into the fucking appliances before we let people have actual QOL advancements.
