The quietest dishwashers in Australia
Full-size models, 12 place settings and up, ranked by the manufacturer's stated noise figure, quietest first. Noise is stated in dBA on retailer spec sheets — the government database doesn't record it.
Across the 108 full-size dishwashers with a stated figure, noise runs from 40 to 52 dBA, median 46. The loudest listed is 12 dB above the quietest; decibels are logarithmic, so the gap is larger than the difference in the numbers suggests. Noise figures are the manufacturer's stated A-weighted decibels, taken from retailer spec sheets on the dates shown; the government database records none. The stated figure is measured under test conditions, so a machine's loudest moment can sit above it.
