Featuring the Whisper Quiet Ultima sound insulation system, the maker calls the EQ Wash System its quietest dishwasher ever. The unit has a sound rating of only 48 decibels (dB), placing it on the 'noise' scale between a quiet room (40 dB) and a moderate rainfall (dB). A true variable speed motor helps minimize operating noises by starting slowly and adjusting upward based on the wash cycle. Alternating wash zones focus the washing action, while using less water and energy for high-performance cleaning. 800.253.3977. www.insideadvantage.com.
