Hypersensitivity to sounds

NAS91170

Our daughter, aged 44, exhibits several ASD traits, one of which is hypersensitivity to sounds. The sound of our washing machine/dryer is the main one at the moment. Difficult to do the laundry! We want to replace this machine with a much quieter one that still has a very high level of efficiency.

I'm sure we're not the only with a similar problem...

Does anyone out there know what is the quietist+most efficient model on the market?

  • ah i hated my mums washing machine.... its not that the washing machine is bad its that people never know how to use them.... so you all use them at maximum revs.... not realising you can actually change the rev settings. and that also you need different revs for different weight of clothing and settings are more complex than we realise.

    my mum in basic use of the washing machine always used highest rev setting. and so this is the fastest spin, the most violent spin.... its not needed.... its too fast. and it results in the washing machine jumping around the room smashing into walls and cabinets making that loud noise. if the revs were set lower it wouldnt make that noise, it wouldnt be so violent and vibraty and seemingly be on the verge of exploding. the revs are set too high, i think my mums washing machine was like 1900 revs or something, you only need like 500 maybe lol 1900 is absolute over kill.... then as i said if you add heavier stuff it reacts differently and smashes around differently in a different way. its all about settings really to control it.
