Diswasher noise level - 53 db versus 50 db - any real difference??

We're looking at two Bosch dishwashers - one claims a noise level of 50 db,
and the other a noise level of 53 db - the features and functionality are
pretty much the same - there's about a $100 price difference.
Bosch has other, more expensive dishwashers in the mid-40 db range - they
are beyond my price point, but with a noise level that goes that low, maybe
the difference from 53 db to 50 db will be enough to justify the extra $100.
Is there an perceptable noise difference that I'll notice when the 50 db
machine is running versus the 53db machine?
Thanks!
Yes, there is a detectable difference. "Quiet" has a price, you're
unlikely to find a quiet dishwasher under $800. You can fix
fibererglass insulation or batting around the unit to help even more.
I can barely hear mine until the drain start to gurgle.
