The Best Quiet Kettles of 2024 - Tried & Tested by Quiet Mark

Brits are known for running the country on a good cuppa, with the majority of the population enjoying 3 or more cups of tea each day. Putting the kettle on, watching as the tea infuses in the water gives a moment to stop, breathe and reset. However, kettles are notoriously known for being one of the main noise sources that can impact on enjoyment of the kitchen and surrounding rooms in our homes. They produce a distinct range of sounds, from turning it on, heating the water to its boiling point and finally the click of the switch turning the kettle off.


Sourcing a quiet appliance couldn't be more in demand as Quiet Mark's latest National Noise Report found 82% of Brits say it matters how loud an appliance is when buying a product. Fortunately, Quiet Mark takes on the science so you don't have to.


Quiet Mark’s expert team of acousticians conduct extensive testing in the specialist Quiet Mark acoustic labs, designed to represent a real home environment, with the reflective surfaces found in a modern kitchen. Quiet Mark triangulates core performance and sound measurement of hundreds of tested appliances to discover those among the quietest in its category currently available on the market.
