A blender is an amazing time-saving tool for any kitchen. However, many potential users are put off by the noise a blender makes while doing its job. Luckily, the tool to reduce blender loudness is already in your kitchen. To fulfill your dream of making homemade cashew milk or blending a perfect smoothie without enduring sensory overload, simply place a kitchen towel underneath your blender.

A dish towel works so well for this task because it's able to absorb excess noise in a way that the blender itself can't due to its ventilated design. A towel also helps to decrease any sound vibration generated by the blender contacting the kitchen countertop. Just make sure that any towel used isn't blocking the vents the blender needs open for its motor to continue operating safely. Also, position the towel in a manner that won't cause the blender to wobble when it's turned on.
