  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).

    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.

    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.

  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.
