Very Noisy

From the first day it has sounded like a lead basketball in the dryer. It lessens as the machine warms up but reoccurs with every load. Two repairmen have said we just have to live with it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, SDKe. We understand you were concerned with the sound of your new dryer. While it can be normal for the commercial-grade machine to make a little more noise at startup, this should smooth out fairly quickly. However, if this sound continues the whole cycle or the sound changes, please be sure to let us know! Our team is here to help at 800-552-5475 (Monday to Friday; 8:30am – 4:00pm Central Standard Time).
As stated in the title, this machine is mostly great; however, I thought it would be quieter while it was drying. It starts off rather loud, but over the course of ~ 2 minutes gets less loud. It's hard to explain, but it's true; sounds less "rackety" after it's warmed up a bit.
