This seems to be such a huge deal and selling point for people. I pretty much set my dishwasher to run when I go up to bed and I can't hear a thing (it's an LG). If I'm sitting in the other room, i can hear some gentle water sloshing, but it's actually quite a relaxing sound. Really, I just want a dishwasher that cleans my dishes really well, even if it has to make some noise doing it!

(side bar: I also want a toilet that really flushes with a big "whooosh" rather than slowly swirling down. Not very green, I know.)
