Here are some suggestions for good habits to reduce noise when using a drum washing machine:

1.  Regular Maintenance: Ensure that your drum washing machine is regularly maintained. A well-maintained machine is less likely to produce excessive noise. Check for any loose parts or damaged components and have them repaired or replaced promptly.

2.  Balance the Load: Distribute the laundry evenly in the drum to ensure a balanced load. Unbalanced loads can cause the machine to shake and produce more noise.

3.  Use Softener: Adding a fabric softener to the wash cycle can help reduce noise by reducing friction between the clothes. This can minimize the rubbing sounds that occur during the spin cycle.

4.  Choose Quiet Settings: Many modern washing machines have different settings or modes, including a "quiet" or "silent" mode. Use these settings if available to reduce noise levels.

5.  Place on a Stable Surface: Ensure that your washing machine is placed on a stable and solid surface. Avoid placing it on carpet or other soft surfaces that may amplify vibrations and noise.

6.  Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the drum with too much laundry. Overloading can cause the machine to work harder and produce more noise.

7.  Check the Connections: Ensure that all the connections, including water inlet and outlet pipes, are tight and secure. Loose connections can cause rattling or vibration noises.

8.  Operate During Quiet Hours: If possible, try to schedule your laundry for times when noise is less likely to disturb others, such as during the daytime or when others are not at home.

By following these good habits, you can significantly reduce the noise produced by your drum washing machine and create a more peaceful environment for yourself.
