Quiet please! Loathe noisy gadgets? The new breed of hush-hush tech could be the answer - rechargeable electric toothbrush

Noise is destroying our health.
Too much exposure is known to improve heart rate and blood pressure, but we are surrounded by constant sound, especially the constant roar of electronic devices at home.
Poppy Szkiler explains: "Historically, if you hear a loud noise, the level of cortical hormone will soar when you are ready to fight or run away, your heart will beat the quiet President mark.
Organizations that certify quiet home products.
"We 've been hearing a lot these days, and our bodies have responded the same way, so we 've been under pressure.
For this reason, manufacturers are beginning to design products that are quieter and sound less offensive, and consumers are eagerly investing.
Here, Alice Smellie tested some new quiet products with the help of the Decibel measurement app on her phone, and Poppy gave her conclusion.
Vacuum cleaner completes C3 mute EcoLine, £ 280, miele. co.
A smooth white beetle
Molded vacuum cleaner.
It's reduced-
Noise motor and sound insulation.
The casters have rubber wheels and shock absorbers.
TEST: I tested this against my beloved old Henry vacuum and when I kept the attachment around 7 feet from my ear it produced thunderous 82 decibels which I usually stand
By contrast, Miele sounds like a purring cat;
The mute function is just low hum.
At the same distance, it only fires 64 dB.
As I make the kitchen floor, I call my mother to chat, and I can have a conversation under normal sound.
"This is one of the quietest vacuum cleaners we 've tested," says POPPY.
Silence but still strong.
9/10 hairdrydyson Supersonic hair dryer, £ 299-Dysonco.
UkWHAT: a steel gray hair dryer with a bright pink inside that can throw 40 liters of hot air per second on wet hair.
They eliminate any annoying loud rant by adding extra blades to the internal motor, which pushes the sound to frequencies outside the range of human hearing.
Test: put my old supermarket hair dryer at 30 centimeters from my ear and the uneven sound is measured between 84 and 96 dB.
Dyson measures a stable 81 db, but a relaxing buzz means you can use it as a white noise and fall asleep.
It's perfect for families who need to be able to hear what's going on around them, says POPPY.
It shows the importance of tone and decibel level.
Quiet kettle for 7/10 KETTLESwan Fearne, £ 32. 99, swan-brand. co.
UkWHAT: vintage solidlooking 1.
7-liter kettle with "silent heating" technology. A Which?
The survey found that some kettles can reach 95 db when boiling
Like an electric drill.
Here, the diffuser at the bottom of the kettle reduces the size of the bubbles generated when boiling, thus reducing the noise generated by the kettle.
Test: when measuring a metre from my head, the noise peak is around 55dB.
I have to say that I have never been annoyed by the kettle, so it seems like a quiet step too far away.
A soft sound, 55 dB is very unobtrusive, says POPPY.
We have tested hundreds of kettles and few are quiet due to the need to boil quickly in a short period of time.
Saturn steam iron at 7/10 Richard ingmorphy Richards, £ 99.
No 99 Murphy Richards
ComWHAT: trying to chat or watch TV while ironing can be frustrating, especially in today's super
High efficiency steam iron.
Here, the "sun board" distributes steam evenly through 485 holes, meaning it doesn't need to be that powerful --or noisy —
Because it is scattered in a more efficient way.
TEST: My current Iron is very adequate, but it reaches more than 80 dB when used.
This one does not have a quiet mark, but still press the button and it will make a low and continuous seductive 52 db hissing sound.
I can hear everything when I turn on the TV.
A heavy task has become less terrible.
Some irons make an explosion noise while heating, and then drag the water from the water tank to the iron, says POPPY.
The calm sound helps you relax and the constant noise disturbance is irritating.
8/10 alarm clock lumie Bodyclock, Shine 300,125, lumie.
ComWHAT: a dawn and dusk simulator that looks like a bedside lamp with time displayed in front.
In a study in Japan, those who are suddenly forced to wake up have higher blood pressure and heart rate than those who wake up at their own time.
The alarm clock can reach 85 decibels, but this wakes you up by gradually increasing the natural light until the wake up you choose
With the passage of time, melatonin, the level of sleep hormone has dropped, and you feel as if you wake up from your choice.
You can also choose from 14 soothing wake-ups-up sounds.
Test: most mornings, I was shocked to breathe when my alarm clock screamed at 80 dB as I entered consciousness.
I chose the black bird as the alarm clock of my choice.
To my disappointment, I woke up earlier than the clock and just saw the light bulb sending a deep Sunrise red.
When the blackbird started their tweet, I was already pumped by the tired anger and dropped it.
I know people like this, but it's not mine.
The wake-up sound is soft and natural, but it is still an important job for traditional alarm clocks, says POPPY.

ComWHAT: a stylish sonic toothbrush that can be cleaned effectively and gently.
Most toothbrushes use noisy mechanical motors, Philips notes, while Sonicare is adjusted to provide quieter cleaning.
TEST: My husband's sound of cleaning teeth annoyed me and when I turned on the decibel monitor near his old electric toothbrush I understood why.
At the distance of the mouth to the ear, it makes more than 70 dB of jingle.
In contrast, this is a consistent 55dB hum at the same distance.
Intrusive noise is not always very loud, says POPPY.
Sometimes the buzz or whining of small appliances is equally irritating.

ComWHAT: a compact fullin-

TEST: My blender is 15 years old nowand broken.
It makes a sound like something used to scare the Crow.
At around 80 dB, it's more of a low voice.
I think it's great.
A game, says POPPY. changer;
Surprisingly, it can make such a quiet sound efficiently.
8/10 DISHWASHERFisher Pike Double Dishdrawer, £ 1,239, fisherpaykel.
ComWHAT: running at 45 db, there are two drawers, so you can stack one drawer at the same time as using another one.
TEST: I put my decibel monitor 50 cm away and it makes a charming buzz of 4555dB.
However, the yelling of the kids and the barking of the dog mean it's a bit of a pointless issue --
Usually you can't hear anything.
The kitchen is the center of the family and the super family
A quiet and discreet dishwasher will be the norm.
