When properly installed, this dishwasher is essentially silent. We only know it is running with the digital display of time remaining. I love that it automatically vents the moist air by opening a few inches ten minutes before drying is complete. It also serves as a signal to my kids that the dishwasher is clean. Many other great features including adjustable racks, excellent cleaning power. My only complaint is the lack of a pre-wash soap tray, so we sprinkle a bit on the door per instructions, but that took some getting used to. Integrates well with SmartThings for checking status and reminders, but not great for remote control in most cases since you have to touch the dishwasher to use it.
