My husband forgets food if it doesn’t beep (ADHD). I am hypersensitive to the loud screeching the microwave makes to announce food is done (autistic). We compromise by leaving the beep on and he either gets it before it starts another round or I flee to safety (or get it myself if I’m near it, but I’m usually not).
I forget the food and also hate the beeping. A no win situation! Usually I just stand there and stare at it, watching the countdown so I can stop it right before the beep and not forget the food.

Same. I get other things done while the food is in the microwave, and would completely forget about it without the beep. Thankfully neither my wife nor I are sensitive to the beeping.
Depending on the model of your microwave, there might be a silent mode. Mine has this and don’t miss the beeping at all.

Get an old microwave with the bell instead of a beep. Doesn’t repeat on its own and the sound is much more pleasant in the first place

I have both and each side needs silence or beep. So far autism wins, I hate the beep so much.
As a user of a silenced microwave, I find setting an alarm/timer on my phone helpful. It can just be a vibrating alarm, too.
What about a model that makes that bell pling
Mine has the opposite. If the timer goes off, there’s no stopping it. It’s going to do the whole sequence of beeps whether you like it or not.
sadly most don’t have this. the manufacturers clearly hate humanity and seed needless suffering into this world
Yessssssss. Mine has this and it’s amazing.
