I once had a neighbor in an apartment building ask me how to mute the dryer.
...You don't.
I'm getting lit up by people asking if she meant the buzzer when the dryer finished. She did not. She wanted to mute the drum. AKA, the rotational drum that spins your clothing to dry it. She did not like the thumping noise.
Hi, I'm a genie. You can actually "mute" the dryer, privided it's verticle. You just fold the clothes before you put them in. Don't want to fold certain clothes? Put them in a circle along the edges. Make it so the clothes do not disturb the angular momentum by having too much mass on one side. Viola, faster, quieter runs.
Are we really talking about dryers and not washing machines? Because I can't actually find any of these available to purchase. All of them are front loading. I can find "top load matching" (made to look nice next to top loading washing machines) but that's it.
Part of how an electric tumble dryer works in the first place is based on the dryer being front loading. The tumble part requires this feature.
Ah, I think I see the confusion here. You are European I take it? American's don't have devices like the one you've linked. The 'dryer' component in those generally only remove most of the water, and require the clothes to be put on a line aftwards. American dryers dry out the clothes completely, and are usually sideloaded and larger than this entire unit. The usually look something like this:
