LG WM2016C Front Load Washer

$899.00 Est. at Amazon

from reviews.sears.com
the tones produced when the machine is activated and cycles are selected have a nice, high-quality sound; it does not sound like some cheap ‘beep’ that you might find with other machines.
from www.bestbuy.com
this lg is nearly silent - the main sound comes from water entering and exiting the machine - not from the motor.
from www.bestbuy.com
it doesn't sound like a helicopter as i was warned.
from www.bestbuy.com
the lg is very quiet on the main motor, but the water drain pump makes a buzzing sound.
from www.bestbuy.com
and the timer sound,, its not a loud scarey noise.

one thing i didn't know was how different this machine would sound compared to my top loaders.
from reviews.sears.com
i don't think there are demonstrations given at any department or home improvement stores, so reading some of the previous reviews, prior to our purchase, regarding loud sounds or that this unit
from www.bestbuy.com
i had a service repairman come out to check the vibration, and after a 30-minute run-through he finally told me that everything sounded normal, etc.
from www.amazon.com
-it is extremely quiet and the loudest part is at the end when it is spinning out the water, it kind of sounds like a quietly-muffled jet engine..lol
from www.amazon.com
i actually enjoy the sound of the gentle tumbling in and out of the water.

wish there were some type of guards that go over the buttons, but on the upside, clothes get clean and fresh and i love the catchy little tune it sounds out at the end of the cycle.
from By CameronsMom, reviews.homedepot.com

from By Mimi1954, reviews.homedepot.com
the machine is virtually soundless; our laundry facility is in the basement beneath our master bedroom, and previously the running washer would keep us awake.
from By catt, reviews.homedepot.com
the spin cycle can sound like a jet taking off.

Haier HLP21E Top Load Washer

$290.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.walmart.com
a few problems like some others we have learned this: if the washer is making too much noise the bottom plate may have been put on wrong, it should only sound as loud as a normal sized washer.
from www.walmart.com
sounds easy but there are several things you must do to accomplish this.also, i used a level to make sure the machine was sitting level - and you can adjust the right leg to make it level, btw.
from www.walmart.com
for example, it does not show exactly how the bottom panel should be installed, and we first put it upside down and the washer was making weird squeaking sounds.
from www.target.com
i kept reading about constant leaking and someone saying that it sounded as if it was tearing down the rainforest.
from www.walmart.com
some reviews mentioned a grinding sound.

Haier FV6800AW Washer

Check Site at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it sounds like a regular washer's spin cycle but coming from such a small machine i think that's why it sounds horrendous.
from www.amazon.com
the machine is not very noisy, and understand it should have some kind of sound when it washes or spin.
from www.amazon.com
make sure you install the bottom plate correctly otherwise it will sound like a jackhammer.
from www.amazon.com
curving away from the ground and it did make a weird crunch sound while running - however, it's a pretty tell-tale signal, and we flipped it around (like a cup sitting on a counter) in five minutes.
from www.amazon.com
it leaks if connections are not tight enough, it makes a horrible sound if the plate is put on upside down, and it mustn't be over-loaded or have too much detergent put in.

from By KristineH, reviews.homedepot.com
it's a quiet machine - the only sound it makes is an occasional whoooshing sound, very subtle.
from reviews.sears.com
the spin cycle has the normal sound of a high rpm motor, which it is.our units are placed in a finished basement utility room, so nothing is heard from other parts of the house.
from By ProudArmywife, reviews.homedepot.com
it is so quiet (at least compared to my older model which sounded like it was headed to the moon).
from By BigCTM, reviews.homedepot.com
i agree with what another user said - it sounds so different due to the hydrowave system.
from By usdfr63, reviews.homedepot.com
i was amazed that a washer can agitate without a sound other than swishing water.
