The audio titled "Microwave Cycle" begins with the sound of a microwave door being opened, followed by the placement of an item inside. There's a brief pause before the microwave door is closed, and the buttons are pressed to set a cooking time. The hum of the microwave starting its cycle fills the audio next, a steady, rhythmic looping sound that is both familiar and comforting. This continues for a while, the audio capturing the steady rotation of the microwave plate as it heats the food. Eventually, the beeping of the microwave signals the end of the cooking cycle. The door is opened once again, and the sound of a dish being removed can be heard. The microwave door is then closed, marking the end of one cycle. This audio is a perfect embodiment of the everyday task of cooking with a microwave, recorded with a Sony IC Recorder, and it emphasizes the repetitive and looping nature of this common household activity.
