When you read other reviews about the sound of this microwave believe them, the magnetron in this thing, you can tell when it is running, it is somewhat loud, I have had 2 previous ge microwaves and all you could hear was the fan running, you could not hear the magnetron, it is kind of annoying but maybe I will get used to it < it sounds like a humming or buzzing noise when it is running and is very annoying when using it, it’s not a deal breaker cause I like the features it has and it is a very good looking appliance, but come on ge, you didn’t hear that when you designed this appliance??? Thought about returning it, but it is good looking, and again I like the features, and I hope I can get used to the new sound. Just FYI it’s probably louder than your previous microwaves. Or should I say it is different than the quiet you heard before.
