Just because you can hear it doesn’t mean everyone can. Beeps are interruptive too.
my grandfather cant even hear the beeping, let alone if the microwave is running.
Agreed that companies need to lower the note of their beeps to old-man hearing tones.
they make some devices that electrocute you when running and when they're done, stop.
And increasing beeping volume would be good. First beep should be nearly muted. 4th beep should be judging.
Also hum of a microwave is fairly easy to tune out.
