My husband is an engineer for GE so when we built our house, of course we installed all GE appliances.  And, we adore them all...except for the Gourmet Clear Ice Icemaker.  It is beyond loud; it is truly disruptive.  While it makes ice just fine, we really regret this purchase simply due to the noise. As loyal as we are to GE, we should have explored other brands. Very disappointed.
