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.

2. Hold Down the 0 or 1 Buttons
According to CNET, some microwave models allow you to mute sounds by holding down specific buttons, such as the « 0 » or « 1 » button, or sometimes the « stop » button. These buttons often have hidden functions programmed by the manufacturer, so give them a try to see if they silence your microwave.
