Hello everybody. I was wondering what your washer sounds like. My dad's washer will do a chunka chunka chunka chunka sound, whereas my mom's lg will sound like somebody cooking or eating. AU members, what do yours sound like? Just curious. Thank you.
What does your washing machine sound like?

My 30 something year old Maytag just goes hmmmm, hmmmm until it clunks and goes to spin, drain.
the Asko
sounds like water sloshing around, growl for the drain, then a jet taking off or my car's turbocharger spooling up for spin (or a hand mixer) and no my bearings aren't shot...sounds the same as it did 18 years ago new.

It sounds like a washing machine of course! 30+ year old Maytag as well, so hmmm-hmmm-hmmm.

When it is just "washing the clothes" you only hear water sloshing. When its spinning, you hear a very faint whine. No motor noises at it is a brushless design. Very refined machine.

Our duet front loader is practically quiet during the wash and you can't hear anything but the sloshing and some buttons/zippers. During the drain the pump makes hum sound, when the water is drained it sounds similiar to the direct drive pumps but the sound is constant. Now being that the motor is a stator, during the spin theres a whine and when it ramps up to 1200rpm it makes a whine which sounds like an airplane taking off which sounds really cool.

My Frigidaire washer has a distinct sound of kind of pounding and water whooshing when it washes.
One is robotic.
One is like a bread-maker machine.
One is ... thump/roomp-roomp-roomp and has a click when changing modes.

Mines sort of a low pitched buzz on wash and high pitched whine on spin which squeaks and thumps as the load never balances but still does a 1400 spin

My Miele w562 has the brushless motor I think, so when it washes you just hear the clothes tumbling and a very faint buzz unlike the more older Mieles (Hydromatic series). On spin it tries to do the fast paced chugging sound but fails, and you get the loud knocking sound of the shock absorbers wHen it slows down.
I should also mention the door vibrates like mad when it is at top speed unbalanced and it bangs whenever it spins unbalanced...does anyone else's Miele do the same?

Right now, I'm apparently dead and in hell, using a BOL Whirlpoo (as I think of it) Shredmore. The main sound is probably chugga chugga. Although the last Shredmore I used had a sound that I thought of as "rugga rugga." Sounds possibly possibly vary on installation, and also I'm biased to "chugga chugga" having heard that description.
I'd much rather listen to a BD Kenmore, as it makes a "woo woo" sound, as it gently agitates clothes to washing perfection.

During the wash, it's pretty quiet except during the Sanitize cycle, there's a low hum that emmits when the water being heated.
I need to re-adjust the feets of my Lux, the spin is a little louder than normal and it sounds like a fully loaded Kenmore belt drive washer during the pre spin cycle!

The sound of the Speed Queen reminds me alot of the long stroke agitation Maytags.
Highway Star...
Are you talking the organ solo or the chugging eighth-note guitar pulse, LOL? My Maytag front-loader sounds remarkably like T.Rex's "Mambo Sun."
