With the recent changes in the economy and having a home so close to where my office already was, I recently decided that with some do-it-myself renovations and the right look, I could easily implement a home office that was suitable for clients and coworkers to see. It would be just as accessible as my original office, but far less money!

On top of all that, I could tackle household chores and spend time with my family during my downtime; in my old office, no use running home to load the dishwasher or the washing machine. Noise reduction, accessibility, and professionalism were the three obstacles/goals that I had for the big move; and so, my project began.

First of all, I scoped out a space in my home that would be a viable option. Somewhere that the rest of the inhabitants could easily avoid when they were feeling a little noisy, but somewhere that was easily accessible from the front drive and street parking.

Next, I came up with a few simple solutions for how to make it more of an “office.” I positioned the desk so that the door to the rest of my home was behind me, closer to me than where clients and coworkers would be sitting.

Finally, I got a reliable and fast home network installed-voila!-a home office was born. I even joked with guests that I would be able to whip up some cookies for them while we discussed upcoming projects-something that was impossible in my old office space.

I had the whole family trained on “office hours,” and created a pretty foolproof system for them to text or instant message me with questions or things they needed when I was in a meeting, unless of course there was an emergency.

Think that’s all the noise I would have to put up with in my new home office? Nope. But I’m a solution-oriented person. First of all, there was my neighbor’s dog, who received brand new toys to play with in their yard.

Next up, there was the barrage of washing machine noise that interrupted my meetings. It just so happened the “perfect location” I picked happened to be very near the laundry room, and happened right around the time my washer and dryer started to speak up.

The final piece of the puzzle-washing machine pads or “Silent Feet” under the machine that absorb the washing machine noise and vibration. Now I can switch over my whites during a conference call and the group will be none the wiser.

You know when you find that one little glitch in your lovely plans for an afternoon? That avoidable blip that just messes things up? At one time I probably would have launched into a story about lost reservations or spilled beverages; today, it’s washing machine vibration.

I must admit, of all the household chores that I complain about, I secretly love doing laundry. There’s something so methodical about the process, and it’s not so time consuming that you can’t get anything done mid-cycle. But then when you’d like to just forget everything else on your list, you’ve got a big basket of warm, clean-smelling laundry to fold.

Maybe it’s me-but that sounds downright calming to me. But, like I said before, one little hitch in the problem: washing machine vibration. If my washing machine is feeling especially active one laundry-filled Saturday afternoon, the entire event might be ruined.

It’s a testament to how much technology has infiltrated my life-but on more than one occasion I’ve gone to mute the washer, only to find myself cursing at the rattling machine, knowing full well no one could hear me over the racket.

You can also see how washing machine vibration and noise could start to interfere with my light sleeping little one come naptime.

I’m all for the gentle hum of the dishwasher or the soft boom of the dryer, but with the washing machine, vibrations and shaking lose that white noise feeling. On top of all of that, having a sensitive sleeper and a noisy washing machine have really gotten in the way of my laundry habit! Now I have to find little chunks of time around my day when I can sneak some laundry in, if you can believe it.

“So why is she telling us about all this if she hasn’t found a solution?!” you might ask. Well, I did find a solution. I propped the machine up with rugs and towels in different folded formations, even jammed my lightly used yoga mat underneath to see if that would calm the beast.

All of these “solutions” were shaky, at best, and also downright “shaky” – I was worried that the machine might tip or shift on such unstable support. And, as you know, this isn’t acceptable when you’ve got someone shorter than the machine strolling around your house.

And so, my friends, I finally found a set of silent feet – little rubber shoes that are completely stable and somehow manage to absorb all that sound and movement into their little rubber soles. I’m not sure how it works, but that’s something I can ponder over laundry… Which I can now do whenever I want!

I live in an apartment complex with a community washer and dryer. The laundry room is located on my floor, and it is right down the hall from my apartment.

At times, when someone is running the washer I can hear a loud banging noise. I thought it was because the machine was sitting on concrete and right next to a brick wall, so I did not think anything of it.

I assumed that the washing machine vibration was a result of poor maintenance. I called my landlord and asked if he could have washing machine vibration inspected by a mechanic.

Like any landlord, he ignored my request because he was trying to cut back on expenses. Because of this, the washing machine continued to make more and more noise.

I worked from home, so it was almost impossible for me to concentrate on my work with the loud banging noise coming from down the hall. I decided to try and find some sort of solution to this problem. My neighbors all agreed that the noises were intolerable to deal with, so I was designated the position to find a way to fix our problem.

I looked online for what could be the cause of the banging noise. I found that it is a result of the pads being worn down. Because the pads are no longer thick, the machine vibrates directly against the floor and wall.

The only solution to me was to replace those worn out pads. I knew the landlord would never purchase a new machine, so if I was able to offer him a lower cost alternative, then I would have a better chance of having him fund the purchase.

I called numerous appliance stores and inquired about potential solutions. I was told that I should look into a product called Silent Feet to solve my problem. I had never really heard of the product, so I decided to look into what it could do for us.

I found that it is an industry leader with its service. I also found that installation was simple and the prices were extremely affordable.

I contacted my landlord and showed him the information I had found. Because the product was extremely affordable, he decided it was worth the risk to try it out.

Once they were installed, I never had to worry about hearing the washing machine vibration again. It worked out perfectly for our washing machine.

To any homeowner, there are always numerous problems we have to face. We have bills to pay, groceries to buy, and appliances to replace or fix on an annual basis.

To top it all off, we also have to make sure that our home resale value does not fall because of our usages. For me, one of the key aspects of my home is its resale value.

I will eventually want to sell this home and move into a newer, larger one. To do so, I will need to build up my savings and create a revenue stream that will enable me to do so.

Until recently, I kept my home in great condition, so I was not worried about its resale value. Then I started to hear the washing machine noise. It wasn’t too bad at first, but then I noticed that it had begun to echo throughout the house. I knew that washing machine noise wouldn’t hurt the resale value of my home, but I wanted to make sure the source of the noise wouldn’t do any damage to my home.
There was always a loud banging, so I was afraid that my tile or walls would get damaged. I went in to the laundry room to inspect and see if there was any damage, and thankfully there had not been much damage to my room. The tile was slightly scuffed from the abrasion and the wall would be fine with a new paint job.

I could not let this continue to happen to my laundry room, so I needed to find something that would help me eliminate the noise in my house.

If I found something to stop the vibration, then I would be able to prevent further damage to my house. I went to a local store and hoped I would be able to find something to fix my washing machine problem.
I found a product that was not available in all stores, but was considered to be the industry’s best product. Silent Feet was proven to have the materials necessary to eliminate my washing machine noise. It also had this adhesive material that would keep the washer from moving around my room.

This was exactly what I needed for my home. Once I purchased Silent Feet, I never had any issues with my machine making noise, moving, or causing any other issues in my laundry room.
