    I'm thinking cold solder or damaged annunciator. Either should be simple.

    A microwave oven annunciator is sounding hoarse.
    Not a noble sound.

    Cracked resonator or filter caps?

    A lot of disassembly for a minor annoyance.
    More annoying if this isn't a simple fix, once
    disassembled.

    Any tips on reducing volume?

    The solder dummet had parted from the disc on one
    of the leads.

    Replaced with junk part (no polarity on original or
    board art) ~ qhieter. Maybe not loud enough for some.

    It's out of here.
