Oops, sorry haha. I had forgotten that you had linked the parts diagram before.
I noticed looking closer that there is now a "clutch assembly" and a gearbox of sorts. I wonder if they finally realized that floating that basket took way too much water, and half of it wasn't even in the tub with the clothes.

That vid of the new washer with the water glass on top is making the same sound our 1993 Whirlpool TL machine makes when it is finishing the neutral drain. I knew I've heard that sound before.
These are pretty machines. I love the controls!

Local Lowes
I went into a different Lowes this morning after a doctor's appointment. This Cabrio pair were on sale at 799 each. But next to the UBER Samsung, these look puny.

If this is Whirlpool's new flagship, then they are dead to me!

I apparently didn't notice a loud noise. At what timeframe did it occur?
This sounds indeed strange. A usual IDD sound, but way louder and kind of echo-ish.
Though I somehow think it might be related to the room this was set up in. I mean, the noise sounds rather like empty room for me. With a solid floor in a big room with only the set in it, it might be just an acustic trick. I mean, even the water entering the machine sounds quite loud, IMHO. Like a shower, almost...

That's the sound I hear on all the vidoes of this drive system. Maybe the drain oan amplifies the noise level, don't know.

Well...
when Whirlpool is marketing these machines as so quiet you can wash while you baby sleeps. I say hogwash!

That is what the rest of the worlds Top loader machines have sounded like since the late 80's.
I wasn't hearing anything out of the ordinary.

There is noise and then there is noise...
Perhaps you better buy the newest model. The Whirlpool Caribo!

You have to appreciate the enthusiasm of these two brothers. Sad that these machines are as noisy as they are when the comparable Korean offerings are much quieter.

That is most certainly not the direct drive inverter motor in that video. That sounds exactly like the VMW (or VWM? I always confuse them) motor and belt-drive system. Either that or they have completely botched up F&P's SmartDrive system. I guess I'm glad now to at least have the Bravos/Cabrio before they phase it out in place of this "new" system. I love the sound of the motor in this machine. Sounds just like the video that foraloysius posted above, albeit much quieter with the insulation underneath and the lid closed.
F&P has done several engineering and control revisions on SmartDrive that resulted in different operational sounds. My IWL12 may exhibit a smooth rrrrrr-rrrrrr-rrrrrr on some agitation profiles and a squeely rrsqqrrr-rrsqqrrr-rrsqqrrr or sqqqqrr-sqqqqrr-sqqqqrr sound on others, all on the same machine. Is Whirlpool required to follow F&P's revisions or can they make their own customizations?
The new machine does NOT have the Fisher Paykel drive system in it. It DOES have a direct drive BPM motor with a planetary drive.
Well, it is all up to taste...
... but personally, I'd rather stay with plain white.

those machine are loud for some reason....I have a belt drive version....and there is some noise, but not like that....mine does have this very thick insulation covering the bottom of the machine.....
for many machines, like in a kitchen, I slid a piece of carpet or foam padding under both the washer and dryer, it greatly reduced that echo effect...
as for the new Platinum Whirlpools, basically these are "Machines for Dummy's"....you have to select "What to wash" and "How to Wash"....
the best review I seen was one lady complained it poured bleach all over a colored load.....WOW, are we the Jetson's...imagine that, a machine that lift that bottle of bleach up and pours it over your laundry....must have been one pissed off machine....I asked her to see a video of the machine doing that....because it could no way in the world be her fault!....she would make a fortune if it could load and unload itself too.....IDIOTS!
