If you want an undisturbed evening or a peaceful night’s sleep, you need quiet appliances –especially if you have a small or open-plan home. As tumble dryers can be pretty loud, paying close attention to noise levels is vital.

Tumble Dryer Noise And Vibration - Part 2

As a tumble dryer spins, a lot of the sound comes from the appliance vibrating. Some brands have developed technology to reduce the amount of vibration. Anti-vibration technology in the sidewalls of some models helps stabilise the dryer, reducing noise. Other brands offer models with special Extra Quiet programmes, that dry washing with the minimum of background noise.

You can do a couple of things yourself to limit vibrations are: Investing in anti-vibration feet pads or a mat can be worthwhile. These will absorb and isolate a lot of the vibration generated by a tumble dryer, reducing noise and preventing it from moving around. They can also help with wobbly dryers as they cushion the floor, reducing rocking.

Extras To Bear In Mind

Noise can be a very personal and subjective thing. If you are quite sensitive to noise, investing in a tumble dryer with a lower dB level and sound-reducing features is probably a good idea. It’s also worth noting that several other factors can make your appliance much louder. For example, if a zip or metal button comes into contact with the glass of the door the tumble dryer will sound much louder.

The most effective way of being undisturbed by a tumble dryer is to locate it suitably. Positioning it in a utility room or garage reduces the chances of you hearing it. If you have to keep it in your kitchen or have a small home, consider a super silent model.
