On a side note, I absolutely HATE the sound of the dishwasher. It's a cheap, modern Whirlpool that I believe is known for being particularly noisy. I can't replace it with anything of quality because it's provided by the building owners. I can even hear one going in a nearby unit occasionally.
Building owners usually buy the lowest priced appliances they can. Most people use the dishwasher either during the day or in the evening. They feel that the tenant will abuse it anyway and most are not worth repairing, out of warrantee.
