The noise is a loud deep droning/humming noise. Hope this helps. Thanks for looking. Mel

I've replaced a LOT of magnetrons on GE M.W.s. The only way to know for sure is to drop it down, take the external shell off and to run it in order to pinpoint where it's coming from. Just remember to never run the MW empty. Make sure you at least have a cup of water in it. And be wary of the high voltage stuff in there 2000 plus volts will hurt you.

Did you ever find out what was wrong and most importantly is it still okay to use?
