I "downgraded" from the Monogram (which was also loud) to the cheaper GE Profile 48". It is significantly louder than the Monogram. The ice machine is also INCREDIBLY and PAINFULLY SLOW. It takes about 30 seconds to get 10 pieces of ice out of it, and they are so small. I'm not happy with this purchase at all. The only good parts are that the water works and it fits the whole my Monogram left in the kitchen. Other than that, extremely disappointed.
