This and better insulation makes them much quieter than in the past.

Mine is one of those "in the past" ones. Even though it says, "Quiet wash plus" on the door.

The filter on mine is in the hood over the stove near the light fixture. I just have a basic electric stove with the hood mounted over it. It has a washable silver filter visible by just looking up into the hood.

The exhaust fan in the hood over our oven died about 15 years ago. The light still works.

My mechanic told me the worst thing some of his customers do is not drive their cars which is needed to circulate that oil and other fluids, keeping those gaskets from drying out.

I just ran my car for about 15 minutes today, as it hasn't gone anywhere since the day before Thanksgiving.

The treasure is basically a neighbor doing the township business out of their house in the evenings. Or we can stop by where she works to drop it off.

Yeah, same here. One good thing: They send out the tax bills about 2 months before they're due. We pay property tax twice a year, with about 65%-70% of the yearly amount due in February, and the rest due in September.
