Abstract (en)

A washing machine which maximally reduces noise generated from a washing process so as to satisfy a low-noise requirement of a user, and a method for controlling the same. The method includes determining whether a calm washing course is selected, and performing low-noise calm washing by controlling a dehydrating operation performed after washing and rinsing operations so that the dehydrating operation is performed at less than a designated speed, when it is determined that the calm washing course is selected.
