UPDATE: purchased the Breville “the Compact Wave” and it is so quiet. I love it!! https://www.crateandbarrel.com/breville-the-compact-wave-microwave/s226034
This might sound crazy, but when the kids are asleep I hold the microwave door button in as I shut it. It’s pretty darn quiet
Good idea. What are you microwaving at night? Now I’m hungry!
I just microwaved some popcorn and yeah I used the hold the button trick.
I mic-ro-wave my popcorn at night
So I can, so I can
Watch TV, eat, and enjoy the childless night
Buy the thinnest adhesive weather stripping you can find, and stick a patch in the appropriate place between the door and latch area. That’s the zone that makes the KERCHUNK.

If you yell the moment it closes you should effectively muffle the noise of it closing.
ah, the tactical velcro method
Fake sneeze works too.
I’m not very good with reading capital letters. i hope this works! you’re in big trouble if it doesn’t.
Stan, get your dad a beer
I also never understood why microwaves need to be so loud. My dishwasher, hell even my washing machine are very quiet in comparisson.
They need to dissipate a lot of waste heat from the magnetron and have to use a fan.
Those other appliances don’t generate a lot of heat in a small space that must be air cooled.
I think they mean when closing the door.
and one with no beeping when I beep the buttons, fucking nazis and their narc microwaves.
On my Toshiba microwave, if I press “8” for a couple seconds, it turns off all the beeping
That was a huge selling point for me lol
My IKEA microwave has a settings menu where you can disable the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps.
I just tell my microwave to be quiet, I have to ask very politely
Whenever I accidentally make a loud noise late at night, I always have to say “jee-sus” under my breath, just in case anyone heard it they know it wasn’t my intention.
Reason I’m asking is I am wanting to buy one. I find most of them so jolting I have put off having one for a long time.
Put an extra regular microwave in the garage/den/faraway room so the noise isn’t an issue
Well because I’ve wrecked my sleep schedule and need a pick me up to finish the days chores I’m usually microwaving leftover coffee. I need help haha
