Do a search on here on GW for "oven loud" or similar. We never thought that ovens could be noisy, because the cooling fan feature for the electronics is new since we last had a new electric oven. Then, go to the store at a quiet time of day (opening or closing) and ask them to turn one on, not in demo mode, but in cooking mode, so you can hear it. Keep in mind that the fan will stay on up to 45 minutes after you turn off the oven, until it's sufficiently cool. We are on our 3rd oven in 3 months because of this problem; we should have come to GW first.
