WF337AAW/XAA Solenoid controlled shutoff valves need to be redesigned

Other than needing to unplug and plug the power cord back in to reset a fault a few times, we have had no major problems (knock on wood) with our Samsung washer. One major annoyance has always been the LOUD Solenoid banging when the shut-off valves open or close. Our water hammer arresters finally bit the dust and we replaced both. The water hammer noise from the pipes was solved but not the solenoid noise. Why can't they design a soft open/close valve system that does not make noise or create a water hammer condition ? It shouldn't be rocket science if you ask me. Our laundry room is on the second floor of our house where our bedroom is. The noise from the solenoids is loud enough to wake the dead.
