No action required
Three beeps indicate the microwave has completed its cycle. Open the door and retrieve your food. If the beeping seems to continue in a loop, check whether the door is fully open (some models continue beeping at intervals until the food is removed).
If you find the beep volume too loud, check your model's manual — many Viking microwaves allow adjusting or muting the end-of-cycle signal through the settings menu.
