For a long time now, I have been interested in how to make a regular clothes dryer more whisper quiet. Has anyone else thought of this? Much like high end dishwasher tubs are wrapped in and sound proofing rubber wrap, I would like to see how a standard Whirlpool dryer drum could be hushed by this same treatment. Has anybody tried this? Any thoughts on the issue? We all know that it is possible as Whirlpool did with the Lady Kenmore washer with the thinner drive belt. Man that thing ran smooth and quiet like a fine automobile. MRB | ||

Sheets of automotive sound proofing. Cut to fit and glue on. | ||

Easy.
Maytag Halo of Heat! No soundproofing needed. Be careful putting anything on a WP/KM dryer drum because the belt goes around the drum. Any alteration in the drum's diameter can mess with the belt's tension and may prevent proper operation. Better to line the inside of the cabinet with the material. Also, the drum gets quite warm! Good luck, Dave | ||
