i live in a small place, 1000 sq ft. and i generally don't have a lot of noise on in the house, tv, radio, etc... when i first got it the only noise i can hear is when it occasionally switches modes during wash cycle.  that is it, so super quiet even when i am reading a book you literally cannot hear it.

i also tried to load dishes with food that had dried, different types of plates with grooves, etc...and it cleans everything so far very very well.  

the connected app is also surprisingly useful.  since it is so quiet i sometimes forget that i turned it on but my phone will remind me when it is done washing and its time to unload it.  

touch panel is responsive and works great...

overall excellent dishwasher!
