Not at all. I read the same thing and was a little hesitant to buy, but I’m completely satisfied with the noise level - which is not even comparable to my old top loader. At most points during a cycle I can’t hear it over a box fan blowing on low.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. 12-Cycle Front-Loading Smart Wi-Fi Washer with Steam and 6Motion Technology - Graphite Steel, Model # WM3700HWA features LG's LoDecibel™ Quiet Operation which has a decibel rating of 44~46 dBA. The washer must be installed on a solid floor that is strong and rigid enough to support the weight of the washer, even when fully loaded, without flexing or bouncing. If the floor has too much flex, you may need to reinforce it to make it more rigid. If the floor is not solid, it may cause severe vibration and noise. Before installing the washer, make sure the floor is clean, dry and free of dust, dirt, water and oil so the washer feet cannot slide easily. Leveling feet that can move or slide on the floor can contribute to excess vibration and noise due to poor contact with the floor. f a drip pan must be used, take extra care to follow the instructions provided with the drip pan and make sure the leveling feet are adjusted for firm and even contact with the pan. Use of drip pans and failure to properly level the machine may result in increased vibration and noise during operation. The washer must be installed on firm flooring to minimize vibration during the spin cycle. Concrete flooring is best, but a wood floor is sufficient, provided it is built to FHA standards. You also need to remove the shipping bolts in the back of the machine starting with the bottom two shipping bolts, use the wrench (included) to fully loosen all four shipping bolts by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the bolt assemblies by wiggling them slightly while pulling them out. Failure to remove shipping bolts and retainers may cause severe vibration and noise, which can lead to permanent damage to the washer. The cord is secured to the back of the washer with a shipping bolt to help prevent operation with shipping bolts in place...^IFV
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You might have to close to laundry room door if you have one, but they are not loud at all especially compared to a top load washer.
