We are all used to the different noises a washing machine produces during it's washing cycle. However, it is important to be aware of any unusual sounds, because this can turn out to be a serious issue. Several things may be causing your washing machine to make too much noise. The source of the noise, its intensity and at wich moment in the cycle it occurs, are all parameters to take into account. The door seal is what separates the inside of your machine from the outside. It can get bent out of shape , wear out or end up rubbing against the drum.
When the drum begins spinning and it makes a loud noise, then there is an issue. In such a case, you can try and put your washing machine door seal back on properly.
If you have tried this and it still doesn't work, you will have to replace the seal. The drain pump drains the water several times during the washing cycle. If the noise is occurring every time your machine drains the water, you will need to remove the drain filter and then check that there is nothing inside the cavity leading to the pump parts, screws, etc. If there is still a noise once this has been checked, you need to consider replacing your drain pump.
Your washing machine's door locks via an electromagnetic coil. The usual noise you should hear when the door locks and unlocks is a little click. If you hear this noise repeatedly when the door is opened or closed, then something must be in the way and stopping it from locking.
However, if nothing is blocking it, then you need to check if it is working properly and consider changing it. Sometimes an object can get stuck between the tub and the drum and cause clicking during the wash or spin cycle. In this case we recommend you consult with a service professional. Other potential sources for noise when the washing machine is agitating could be a failed drive pulley or pulley, which would need to be inspected visually. More times than not, a faulty inlet valve is responsible for all the noise.
Over time, filter screens on the water inlet valve get dirty and blocked up, and the piece itself can corrode and break in a number of different places. Check your make and model in order to find the specific inlet valve for your machine. Washing machine inlet valve. Image courtesy of Amazon.

Lowering the pressure in the pipes is an easy way to reduce or eliminate water hammer. If one or both of the pipes supplying the washing machine has a shutoff valve, you may be able to curtail the banging by partially closing it.
The reduced water flow will cause the washer to fill more slowly, however, and increase the time for a wash cycle. You may also be able to adjust the pressure of the water coming into your house by partially closing the main water valve. Because it reduces pressure at every fixture, this isn't always a realistic option. A more effective way of eliminating water hammer is to install a water hammer arrestor in each of the supply pipes for the washing machine.
