Look up your microwave's manual, almost all modern ones actually have a setting to disable beeps.

  It was life-changing when I discovered this, yeah. ... and then I moved into an apartment that has a microwave that has no mute option. I'm getting closer and closer to just finding and cutting that beeper wire...

    I did that on my previous microwave (and then when it eventually broke I got one that had a mute option). You do have to be very careful when opening a microwave (the high-voltage capacitor can store charge for quite a while if the bleeder resistor goes open-circuit), but it's generally not to hard to avoid that part and just remove the damn buzzer.

      Yeah, I assume it'll be on or facing the faceplate, so it should be fairly safe to access and murder, for great justice. Microwaves have substantial amounts of power going through them, I entirely agree on the safety callout - they're probably the scariest thing in your house to poke around in, now that vacuum tubes are mostly gone.
