The easy method to stop the beeping sound is to activate the silent mode. But as your model may not have a silent mode, you can hard reset your microwave. If still not ok, it’s best to consult a professional.

How to Silence Hamilton Beach Microwave in Other Ways?

Microwaves make noise from 2 things mostly- exhaust fans and alert sounds. There are other ways to silence the microwave other than activating silence mode:

Switch Off The Exhaust Fan:

Microwave exhaust fans remove heat and moisture from the inside of the microwave oven. Exhaust fans may cause the microwave to make a loud buzzing sound while in operation. If this happens, I would recommend you turn off the exhaust fan.

Use A Damp Cloth Or Towel:

Even after this, the noise doesn’t stop, place a damp towel or cloth near the vent of the exhaust fan. The damp cloth will absorb some moisture and prevent excess moisture in the kitchen.

Switch Off Alert Signals: 

Many models of Hamilton Beach Microwaves have the ability to switch off the alert sounds. Instead of switching off the sound completely, you can turn down the volume. That way you can still get alerted when your food is done.

Hard Reset:

A simple way to mute the microwave is by resetting the device. To reset, unplug the microwave from the power supply for 5 minutes. Then plug it in. This method removes charges from the microwave and as a result, sets it in a state of complete reset.

If you want to silence the noise more you can try these ways too:

• Put a rubber mat or towel underneath the microwave. This will help absorb the vibrations and so making it less noisy. 
• Move the microwave away from walls and cabinets to give space as they can amplify sound. Give enough space to the microwave otherwise the microwave gets hot when not in use even.
• To prevent the food from splattering and popping, cover it with a lead. 
• Clean the inside of your microwave regularly to protect it from greasiness. Dirt can cause noise in the microwave. You can clean your microwave using white or apple cider vinegar.
