I had in-Sink-erators in my hom for over 20 years. When it was time to replace the old one. I found the new one to be super Quiet. and a breeze to install. The old noes of the past we would call it the "Monster" to the kids. Those would not live up to the name because you can't hear it. I can't wait for the one in my vacation house to stop working so I can replace it with a new in-SAink-erator.
