Check through the "settings" button. Many relatively new microwaves have muted options.

There are some that make the noise when you stop it manually, I curse the family of the designers every time.
Microwave done: beep. beep. beep. beep.
Microwave interrupted: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
Microwave reset: also BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
I have 2 demands for microwaves. Have a 30sec button and start when I press it once. After 1 minute of no use, just clear the time left. Also don't beep every 10 seconds after the timer ends. I'm drunk and I probably don't need that food if I don't remember. That's more than 2, so 30 demands and I'll stop before I hit zero left.
I have a microwave that makes a noise when you stop it manually and also when you open and shut the door the beeping continues until the full sequence of beeps has completed.
I’ll be moving soon, and I am absolutely not taking it with me.
Listen, the design of them is bad nowadays....
When it's finished, there are 5 peeps... Ok, 5!
When I open the door after peep nr. 1, you could think that the microwave knows, that I'm aware of it having finished... But no... It has to give me 4 more peeps, when the food is already out of it..
Which is it now, 5! peeps or 5?
You look forward to your microwaved popcorn, as suddenly a small chill runs down your spine. "Time is almost up..." You shudder and start running towards the microwave, stepping on the child's lego and the cat in the process.
As you enter the kitchen the timer reaches zero, and you know you have failed. 120 beeps are about to commence, separated by two seconds - four minutes. Not even removing the power supply would help as this model has an emergency power supply. In case of loss of power supply it will do what the microwave does best: beep
Yep, we got a new microwave and this is the most annoying thing about it, if I want it to stop I just press the cancel button though.
Is my microwave the only one with silent mode?
My new one does and it's amazing. I had to rip the speaker out of the last one because the beeping was so annoying.
My microwave goes back to the clock and doesn't beep if I stop it at exactly 0:00.
An average person should never disassemble a microwave. Your microwave contains an enormous capacitor which if it's bleed-off resistor is burnt out can hold a lethal amount of energy for many hours and can electrocute you.
True.
Also the beryllium.
and you sort of feel like..... you know, I could have been a ninja
