Get my pies

I have a new GE Cafe dishwasher with all the bells and whistles but it seems to thump and bang or make weird noises I suspect is water hammer?

Do these new generation dishwashers have valves are open and close very quickly? I put water hammer arrestors on my toilets and washing machine to resolve that issue there, can this be done on a dishwasher as well?

I did have a water pressure regulator put on our main supply line a couple years back, it was something like 85 or 90 psi, and it took it down to 55 psi.

I had one put on my older dishwasher a few years ago but don't know if can be done with the newer ones.

I also ended up putting 5/8 diameter heavy duty lines on my extremely irritating LG washer. Fixed it far better than the 4 different, and escalating hammer arrestors. Found them at Lowes.

I have hunted high and low for a link to them. I have not found one. They did solve my hammer problem though. Very heavy duty lines. 5/8 inch ID
