Washing machine and dryer in the basement or upstairs?

I do not want the noises of my washing machine to be upstairs. That is why it is in the basement. We have a laundry chute from the dressing room to the laundry basement. It is properly clad, so you don’t hear anything there either. Our basement is completely within the thermal envelope and I dry the laundry half in the dryer and half in the room. In summer, I have turned on the dehumidifier a few times, but it is simply not true that the laundry there would not dry quickly.

My washing machine is quiet. The spin cycle is slightly audible when it is quiet. I used to have it in the basement and no longer want to.

I don't want the noises of my washing machine upstairs. That's why it's in the basement. We have a laundry chute from the dressing room to the laundry cellar. It is properly enclosed, so you can't hear anything. Our basement is completely within the thermal envelope and I dry half of the laundry in the dryer and half in the room. In summer, I have turned on the dehumidifier a few times, but it's simply not true that the laundry doesn't dry quickly there.

In our house, the laundry chute goes from the upstairs bathroom to the laundry room in the basement. It's extremely practical. Although it was a rather expensive investment, it's worth it in the long run.
