Unplug unit from the outlet for at least 1 minute then plug it back in. This should reset the microwave and the time will need reset afterwards.
This failing, and it is under warranty, throw the breaker for now to stop it and call whomever you bought it from for repair or replacement.

'''How to Turn Off a Microwave Sound on a GE'''
# Press the "Beeper Volume" button, located on the '''microwave's''' control panel.
# Press the 0 to 3 buttons to choose the loudness setting. ...
# Press the "Start/Pause" button to save your settings.

# Often, pressing and holding '''1''', '''0''', '''Stop''' or '''Cancel''' will either result in turning off the beeping sounds or activating a child lock feature. (Child lock doesn't actually lock the door, but instead locks the control panel so no buttons can be pressed until the lock is removed by holding the button for around three seconds again.)
# If none of these work, it's probably best to consult the manual. Even if you don't have a '''Sound''' button, there is no '''Mute''' function denoted as a secondary function or holding a button doesn't do anything, there is still a chance a mute function exists. It could be a button combination or, like on some microwaves, be buried in a submenu that's not at all obvious how to activate.
# If you've tossed the owner's manual to your microwave, check the manufacturer's website. They will often provide a digital version of the manual as a PDF for more recent models. For an older model, you may need to do some digging, but a great start is to just do a Google search for "[microwave brand and model number] manual."
