Quiet Mark

Helping you find quieter appliances for your home.

Creating a quieter home

Quiet Mark is a global certification program that runs rigorous tests to identify quieter products, like appliances and technology, to promote a calmer environment at home or work.
82% of Brits would like appliances in their homes to be quieter.* If that's you, Quiet Mark's seal of approval will help you make informed decisions.
From washing machines to dishwashers to fans and more - the products bearing this label are considered among the quietest options in their categories.

Peace of mind: Reduced noise levels mean a more relaxed atmosphere for you to enjoy.
Increased productivity: A quieter space helps to focus better and get more done. With an increasing number of people working from home, it's become more important than ever to cut down unwanted noise around us.
Healthier living: From better sleep to reduced stress levels, quiet products at home help enhance overall health.

Specialised teams and labs carry out a series of scientific tests to assess noise levels of products.
Several criteria are used to determine the quietness of products, decibel levels being one of them.
Products in the same category are compared for fair assessment.
Only the top 10-20% of the quietest products in each category earn the Quiet Mark certification, ensuring trustworthy choices for customers.
It's worth noting that the tests are re-run every year to ensure that the quietest products are rightly certified each time.

Founded by Poppy Szkiler in 2012, this global certification programme campaign is a third-generation family business that champions the cause of quieter spaces.
Quiet Mark is associated with the UK Noise Abatement Society (NAS) charitable foundation, founded by Poppy’s grandfather, John Connell OBE, in 1959.
The NAS and Quiet Mark have been advocates for international noise reduction for 60 years and counting, pioneering solutions to create calmer homes, workplaces or communal spaces.
