I got a brand new Kenmore Elite(Made in Germany by Whirlpool) HE3T and the front says something about "quiet" but its louder than my old school 15 year old washer we had. 

The washer is not touching anything, but when it is on spin cycle, it makes soft thumps as if a hose is slapping on something.  When I check the perimeter, there is no slapping around.  The washer doesn't walk (has not yet), but if I leave a bottle of water on top, it will vibrate enough that it will move around and fall off. 

No error codes at all. 

When I bought it, the delivery idiots loaded into the truck upside down.  I balked at the idiots(with one of them being Sears loading dock grunt) and they put it upright, so it didn't get transported upside down, but would being upside down even for a few seconds damage anything? 

Washer is perfectly level and checked with bubble level.  It doesn't rock back and forth, side to side, or diagonally.  Is it just the way it works, or is it most likely that getting put upside down briefly damaged something? 

One thing I noticed also was that one of the transporter bolts were slightly bent.
