The Elite 14682 adds extra sound-dampening insulation to reach a 42 dBA rating, quieter than the standard 45 dBA line it’s otherwise closely related to. That added insulation sits around the tub rather than in the wash or drain system itself, so a noise complaint above what’s expected for this quieter tier is checked at the pump and motor mounts first, the same as on the standard-tier models.
