3. Purchase Quiet Devices

Home appliances–washing machines, dishwashers, and all our electric tools and gizmos are some of the main culprits when it comes to noise. Consider silencing a part of the buying requirements.

Look for the Quiet Mark logo on a number of household appliances-a purple Q approval. Here’s a set of appliances we’ve been testing recently that not only performed well in our studies but also performed well in the Quiet Mark laboratory.
