Dishwasher

A staple in the cacophony conducted by most modern kitchens, the dishwasher provides both utility and background noise. While the first modern dishwashers were created in 1924, they have only been producing their monotonous sloshing drone in most residential kitchens since the 1960s and 70s. Dishwashers have been getting progressively quieter over the years. Sound damping has become commonplace in modern dishwashers, which use blankets, panels, and other sound absorbing materials to minimize the sounds we hear in this clip.
