No, but my mom still freaks out when I have my head near the microwave while it's on. Despite that there's a visible Faraday Cage in the glass.
If you take a spectrum analyzer near the microwave, you'll still find a lot of noise in the 2-3GHz range. There's a LOT of power in a Microwave, and while the shielding does a fine job at disturbing phase, much of the magnitude sneaks through since the microwave signal is so powerful.
In other words, most ISM radios (e.g. WiFi) and Cellular phones have sub-1W transmitters. A microwave is 700-1500W.
Oh Gawd that is awful! I still here that thing ringing in my ears! But I (13) generally have very good hearing. It kinda sounds like the noise my palms lcd makes , just A LOT louder. I will see if anyone else can here that later.

PS: Don't send any more of those things, they hurt like hell!
Edit: My mom (34) can hear it well from a distance, and she has really bad ears.
I'm 37 and could hear it fine in my right ear, but not my left, where I have hearing loss at upper frequencies, but tinitus to make up for what I can't hear.
I thought my kids were pulling my leg until my older husband of 20 years could hear it also. Needless to say I have a Dr. appt. to evaluate my hearing. I had it as loud as it would go and still did not hear anything and they were all screaming turn it down.
NO My mum told me if i sat to close to the telly i'd get SQUARE EYES AND BE UGLY (i wanted to be a model at that point but hey ho forensic science it is)
