Why is there a gap around the cabinet?

I don't know...what kind of seal does yours have?

It has a strip of thick plastic/vinyl/rubber down each side. The strip
is slightly flexible and completely seals the sides between dishwasher and
cabinets.
My DW is white so my strip is white. Also, check your kickplate and be sure
the
foam insulation is behind it. I've heard from others that the kickplate is
often installed
backwards and if it is, you can see the foam insulation through the screw
holes. This was
brought up years ago on usenet so you might be able to find more info via
Google.

I'm sick about this.
The dealer only has one tech, so I'm going to call Bosch and see if
they can send someone else out.

I think it's fishy that I only know of one other person who says their
Bosch is loud, and it was installed by the same guy!

Did you tell the dealer that? I am sure your unit is installed incorrectly
and
would badger the dealer until it is resolved. Tell them if they can't fix
it,
then they should pay someone else to fix it. I bought mine from Sears and
they should know how to intsall them properly since they presumably sell
a lot of them. In the meantime, try blocking the sides yourself with
something
temporary to see if that reduces the noise. If it doesn't, there may be a
problem
with the insulation wrap around the unit--like, hopefully there is one ;-).
HTH.
