Hi Patti. The ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 4.5 Cu. Ft. 8-Cycle Top-Loading Washer with 6Motion Technology, Model # WT7100CW features LG's LoDecibel™ Quiet Operation which has a decibel rating of around 44 ~ 46dBA. As a comparison, normal conversation is rated at 60 dBA. An increase of 10 dB is perceived as twice as loud in psychoacoustics. Wash cycles are designed for the best wash performance for each type of load. Each cycle has default settings that are selected
automatically. You may also customize these settings
using the cycle modifier buttons. The washer automatically adjusts the water level for the type and size of wash load for the best results and maximum efficiency. When a cycle is selected, the default time for that cycle is displayed. This time will change as modifiers or options are selected. Once the Start/Pause button is pressed, the washer will measure the size of the load. The estimated time may change once the load size has been measured. The time shown is only an estimate. This time is based on normal operating conditions. Several external factors (load size, room temperature, incoming water temperature,etc.) can affect the actual time...^IFV

It’s shockingly quiet (assuming it’s installed properly). Length of a cycle varies on amount of clothes and using the proper amount of HE detergent, but figure about an hour. The spin function is really efficient though, so less dryer time.

This machine makes a lot of quiet noise, it spins this way, then that and then a short full speed spin before it starts filling. Once it finishes the spin cycle and stops spinning you can still hear the pump pumping out water. It is the quietest machine I have ever owned, even though it makes the largest amount of different sounds. If it decides to actually complete the full cycle, expect a minimum of 60 minutes. I haven't had a wash cycle yet that was less than 90 minutes, because of issues my machine is having. 

Good luck. I would suggest looking at a different manufacture. 

I would have purchased the Samsung top-load washer, but it wouldn't fit in my space. My sister purchased the Samsung months ago and is very pleased with it.
