When running, my new dishwasher is so quiet, you can’t hear it unless you are standing next to it and even then, it is barely noticeable.  I love the quick wash.  My first couple loads I did try not rinsing my dishes and ran a normal wash….the utensils on the 3rd rack were not completely clean and that is the only reason I am dropping a star.  I have had it for a week now and I am very happy with my purchase!
