(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See "Level the Washer" in Installation Instructions.

could unbalance washer.

between basket and tub or may block pump. It may be necessary to
call for service to remove items.
It is normal to hear metal items on clothing such as metal snaps,
buckles, or zippers touch against the basket.
It is normal to hear the pump making a continuous humming sound
with periodic gurgling or surging as final amounts of water are
removed during the Drain/Spin cycles.
You may hear the hum of the sensing spins after you have started
the washer. This is normal.
You may hear the whirring sound of the basket decelerating. This is
normal.
Water may splash off basket if washer is not level.
Tighten fill-hose connection.
Make sure all four fill hose flat washers are properly seated.
Pull drain hose from washer cabinet and properly secure it to
drainpipe or laundry tub.
Water can back up out of a clogged sink or drainpipe. Check all
household plumbing for leaks (laundry tubs, drain pipe, water pipes,
and faucets).
Unbalanced loading can cause basket to be out of alignment
and cause water to splash off tub. See "Using Your Washer"
for loading instructions.
This is normal operation for a high efficiency washer. If the Water
Level knob is set to Auto setting, the load will not be completely
under water. The washer senses load sizes and adds correct
amount of water for optimal cleaning.
Use Bulky/Sheets cycle for higher water fill, or set Water Level knob
to Deep Water Wash setting. See "What's New Under the Lid" and
"Cycle Guide" to match your load with the best cycle.
Run Clean Washer with affresh® cycle to optimize the water level
and wash performance due to soil buildup in washer basket.
