How does this muffle noise and prevent splash back with the large holes--you can see the bottom of the disposer thru the large center opening?

Michele, it really does, probably because of the way it makes fluid flow. Easy out for cleaning. Only complaint would be that waste needs help down thru as it gets caught on the flaps. But would buy again w/o hesitation, as a quick, easy, inexpensive fix.

The black rubber baffle is part of your disposal. Those can be purchased for $5 at Lowe's and are specific to your disposal.

I assume you got the unit with the Permate pump? If so then it's not your imagination. I can actually hear mine upstairs! However it only lasts for a while until the tank is filled again. And somewhere in the instructions it says that you can cover the pump with insulating material since it's not an electrically powered device. That should help with the noise . . . hopefully.

It is noisy when the water level goes down. you need to refill and maintain a higher water level to avoid the noise.

check the clamps, maybe they are loose. if you had any welding done, check that too. air may be excaping before entering the muffler which makes a loud noise.

We installed this drain flange with the InSinkErator Evolution Select Plus and the rubber sound baffle fits just fine below the stainer basket. P.S. these drain flanges are really nice!

Yes it does. It's on the bottom of the unit. There is also a hole where you can insert an Allen wrench and manually turn the inside of the disposer to free up jams.

To be clear, the faucet isnt noisy. You are hearing the reverse osmosis unit or the drain gargling . IF it is the drain gargling it is usually because there is a bend in the line causing a back up then when enough water gets in line it forces it through. My RO unit is a kinetico and is very silent.

We purchased our Waste King L-8000 on Amazon. The noise is low....like a humming. Of course, you can tell it is on. I suggest contacting your contractor. It should not be "dramatically loud." If it continues; contact Waste King, they have great service and I believe no cost to you.

it's pretty loud but I don't believe it's because of the rear flush. the loud noise depends on what kind of flushometer you have in your toilet bowl

that is the speaker vent hole just like you would see on a sub woofer on base speaker. actually the entire back part of the base is a speaker.

It just sounds like air blowing inside of a container. There are series of holes around the sides and on the top that allow you to regulate the air flow, which effects how loud or soft the blowing sound is.

it dampens the sounds to a muffle but doesn't stop it entirely. I find that most of the sound "leakage" occurs around the gap in the doors. Make sure those are sealed.

I ran some PVC elbows and PVC pipe above the level of the sink. I have the vent about 3 feet over the sink and if for some reason there is a back flow up the vent I have it so it will go back into the utility sink. I use a P trap because it will stop any smell from coming back from the drain.

My unit is installed in a cabinet on the back side of the kitchen wall, and I do not hear anything other than the normal noise of water running through the faucet when in use.

I haven't encountered this problem. The problem I have occasionally is, at some time after installation I find air has somehow gotten into the line and causes a terrible rattle and noise. I have been able to get rid of the problem by disconnecting and reinstalling the filters. Sorry this doesn't answer you question. Does it always happen? Maybe there is something floating around that blocks the flow when you open turn it on too fast.

Mine has a loud sound that can be heard from another room. Over filling will cause a reduced sound.
