Deadening stainless steel sink noise.

[DerbyDad03]

It may *sound* like an expensive "super quiet" dishwasher but I'm not so sure it *acts* like one.

There's more to a high quality dishwasher than just additional insulation.

From memory, sound 'stops' and gets reflected at a boundary between dissimilar materials. Therefore for best sound 'stopping' consider alternating layers of material, rather than relying on one, single THICK layer of something.

Likewhat ?? stainless steel sink - contact cemented lead foil - rigid fibre glass epoxy layer - adhering lead foil, etc ...or ss sink - rubbery layer - lead foil? rigid layer? - rubbery layer and so on. Anyway, you get the idea is that each layer reflects back a percentage of sound, after a few layers, not much gets transferred, almost all the sound energy gets lost in the dampening material, in the rubber or lead foil.

You just replied to someone who was stupid enough to reply to a SIX YEAR OLD post.

Well, it's GE so... yeah probably not high quality.

Unlike the last one though it's got three spray arms and the heating element gets blazin' hot so self dry, sani-cycle etc. work great. It actually works pretty well.

If I were to find any fault with it it would be that the tub isn't perfectly square so you can see the lip around the edge "bulging" and also the racks aren't made of stainless so when the coating peels they'll rust. Other than that it's pretty acceptable.

THANK YOU for the link to the GT Mat site. Great stuff and just what I was looking for.

Product for sound deadening for mobile audio installations. Either a spray on like Lizard Skin or sheets e.g. Dynamat, either one applied to the underside.

Only seven years ago. I bet he's still got the tinny sink.

Dear Martin, I think you should coat the door in auto body under coating before nailing up your thesis.

I think you should drink a lot of rum, and sing a few rounds of yo ho ho.

The Viking Drummers can practice on the sink before chanting stroke, ho.

It looks to me like this guy spammed us 7 years ago and now he needs business so he's spamming us again.

For practically nothing, one could 5-minute epoxy a 1x2 from one half the sink to the other. That will suppress 90% of the noise. A sink has no engine that runs all the time like a car, nor does it have to keep all of its noise in, or out.

replying to Jack, Gill wrote: I used Flex Seal white spray on. I taped off the underside of the edge (where the clips fit in and you'll later use a putty or silicone seal when you mount it to your cabinet top, and around the drainage holes). I then sprayed 3 coats - letting it dry 24 hours between each coat. I did this a few weeks before I needed to install the sink in order for the seal to cure all the way through. Worked great.
