This audio file, titled "049257_Microwave.m4a", captures the unique sound effects associated with a microwave in operation. The recording begins with the soft but distinctive beep of the microwave's digital interface as someone sets the cooking time. This is followed by the slight thud of the microwave door closing and the hum of the appliance springing to life. The low, steady drone of the microwave working encapsulates the sound of the magnetron heating the food inside. Then comes the series of beeps signaling the end of the cooking cycle. Lastly, the recording concludes with the sound of the microwave door being opened. The entire audio gives off a very real and tangible feel, akin to the foley effects used in film and television to enhance realism.
