How can I make my electric toothbrush quieter?
If your toothbrush doesn’t have any problems and you still want to reduce the noise, grab your toothbrush with a small cloth or hand towel. Most of the sound produced by your toothbrush is rattling, spinning and vibration. Handling it with a piece of cloth will help in muffling or silencing the noise.
