I just got an old one that dings instead of beeping. much nicer
Looks like I found my people.
my settings -> signal off, no?
Mine doesn't even let you interrupt the beeping. If it goes off it's doing the whole sequence whether you like it or not.
Then there’s me LOSING MY DAMN MIND because I can’t figure out how to clear the one second off of the microwave and being INFURIATINGLY MAD at the jerk who left one second on the microwave.

There are videos on how to disable it permanently
It does require a little disassembly. I have considered doing this but I use the timer on the microwave a lot when baking things.

Hop boy, don’t buy Samsung appliances then! They like to play songs instead of just a beep!
Mine has a setting but it doesn’t get saved after a power outage which occurs a couple times a year.
I used to have a microwave that you could stop at 0 if you hit the right time. Before the finish beeps but still at 0. It was like a frame perfect press though, really hard to get.
Also at my work there's someone who likes to leave it at 0:01. When I come in in the morning and it displays that I don't know the time. Gr. Use the little red button kthx
I had an old microwave that had a beep but a second after the cycle end so you had a whole second long window to open it peacefully. Beautiful lost technology.
