It's possible to put "quiet" lower on your priority list. It's easy enough to only run the dishwasher when either heading off to bed or leaving for work in the morning (I do almost exclusively the former). I rarely run it when I'm doing other things in the house that it would drown out. That's an easy enough concession, if it comes down to one over the other...or if it would cost a lot more to get a much quieter one.
Anyway, I have lived both ways—with and without—and with is so much better!
