I remember a Frigidaire dishwasher commercial where two ladies were in the kitchen and one kept saying that the dishwasher was too loud, to which the other said she couldn’t hear her because the dishwasher was too loud…
Which vintage machines were the quietest and noisiest and how did it become as important back then to promote quietness as it did touting reliability and performance? — Dave | ||

 GE seemed to purposely build noisy dishwashers so that you'd know they were working... LOL The early impeller top-loaders sound like a tsunami is approaching and the later arm-and-tower pump systems had a distinct pump sound - distinctly loud!
I think the quietest vintage dishwasher I've been around is the Frigidaire Spin-Tube. | ||

"GE seemed to purposely build noisy dishwashers so that you'd know they were working... LOL "
Funny but it was seriously policy at many appliance manufacturers back then. Even today product manufacturers will make their products have a certain sound or no sound...on purpose. I always think of vacuums, how noisy and lacking power they were pre-2000 and how they've changed since. New dishwashers for the most part are incredibly quiet. Of course auto manufacturers are the same way, purposely designing vehicles to MAKE noise. appalling by my standards. | ||

The sound of most modern vacuum cleaners gets on my ever lasting nerve since they are quite loud nor work very well since they simply don’t have the CFM of direct air vacuums. Yes, direct air vacuums can be loud BUT have more CFM which means your carpets and rugs will be cleaner compared to one of those modern bypass type machines.
