Is there anyone here who has any early-mid 1980s noisy dishwashers still functional? Do you have an iphone or something with a decent microphone? If so I wanted to make a special request, and ask if you could post a recording of this to youtube (or mp3).
Towards the mid-1980s my parents had expanded the kitchen, and probably installed either a Sears, Kenmore or GE dishwasher that year. If I had to guess it was probably sometime between 1984 and 1986. I don't believe it was Sears - I'm guessing it was probably GE. I recall it looking a lot like this one - it actually was about same color and button layout (as far as I can recall):

Back in the day, I had even made an audio recording of that to help me sleep and concentrate. I've tried since making other recordings, but it's not been the same.
It all began one late night doing my homework in the kitchen as a kid. In the background droned the motor loudly, while the water swished noisily. For me it was great. For most others it was a headache.
Any way, I'm one of the few who likes that kind of noise. I've actually since tried to record and experiment with various water sounds in combination.
