How to Get the Quietest DishwasherYou might think that consumers are most concerned about a given dishwasher model’s ability to get their dishes clean, but it turns out, based on their most-requested feature, the top priority for most consumers is finding a quiet dishwasher. It is perfectly understandable that you might want a quiet dishwasher too. After all, modern homes tend to have open floorplans where kitchen noise travels more easily. Manufacturers have been paying attention to consumer demand and today’s crop of dishwashers is indeed quieter than those produced 10 years ago. If you’re ready to trade in your old, noisy dishwasher for new, quiet one, here is some advice to help you out.

Choosing a Quiet Dishwasher

Fortunately, dishwashers carry a decibel rating to help you figure out just how successful they are at noise reduction. When interpreting decibel ratings, it is important to understand that decibels are measurements on a logarithmic scale. This means that a small difference in the rating actually represents an exponential difference in the sound. So a dishwasher rated at 44 dB is actually 30 percent louder than one rated at 43dB. While every decibel lost is a significant reduction in noise level, in reality anything under 60 dB, the volume of a normal conversation, should be more than sufficient for your needs.

Using a Quiet Dishwasher

Of course, just because the mechanism of the dishwasher itself is quiet does not guarantee quiet operation in all situations. Even in a dishwasher with good insulation, the sound of plates and glasses clanking together in an improperly loaded machine will be audible. In order to get the quietest operation possible from your quiet dishwasher, be sure to load it carefully and securely so none of the dishes are touching or unstable.
