This has been bothering me for a bit, but has become more on my mind as I'm using the pots and pans cycle more often now. The sound I'm referring to is a loud 'shhhhhh' that occurs at regular intervals. It sounds more subtle in the recording but to really manages to be not only very audible in person, but pretty annoying. The Pots and Pans cycle is loud enough as is, and this is making me not want to use the cycle altogether.
I can hear the arm's spinning slow as the sound occurs, and it occurs primarily when the bottom arm is in operation. It only occurs on the higher-pressure wash cycles such as Pots and Pans, QuickIntense, and SaniWash. It never does this on lower-pressure cycles such as Normal, even with ExtraClean enabled.
I tried adding water, and did perhaps 12 ounces (but not more out of concern for overfilling it, the base is very shallow), and it seemed to perhaps make a slight difference... But I could not tell definitively.
Audio attached, recorded with the phone near the bottom of the unit. Thoughts are appreciated.
Extra info: Cascade powder detergent inside the auto-dos cartridge, so it's determining how much detergent to use. I don't recall seeing excessive suds when I opened the door to add water.
