"Sound guard reduces noise for quieter operation"  This disposal is very loud!  I can't believe it being any louder without this so called sound guard. It didn't ship out right away either, I had to make phone calls and tack on expedited shipping, adding to the over all cost.  If I had to do it again I wouldn't have gotten this one.
