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.
I also never understood why microwaves need to be so loud. My dishwasher, hell even my washing machine are very quiet in comparisson.

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.
Got this as a wedding gift over 3 years ago.
Absolutely love it and the door is self closing. You can slam it and it catches itself and shuts on its own. I assume that is what you mean.
Thank you. Will check it out!
Just purchased the step down version of this. Love it!
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.
This one here. https://www.lg.com/au/microwave-ovens/lg-MJ3966ABS
The door opens from the top down and is opened and closed by hand without latches etc so its quiet.
And you can turn off the beep
Thank you. Will check it out. Looks like it may not be available in US where I live.
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
