I wouldn't trade my Bosch for ANYTHING! My living room and kitchen are open, and I used to have to run my old dishwasher in the middle of the night because you couldn't hear conversation or the tv while it was running.
I got a new Bosch about 6 years ago, and I can run it while I have company and nobody even realizes it's on. And, I am always very happy at how clean the dishes are!
