Here is an anecdote that might give the answer where the title of the album came from:
"I used to manage a used record store in Portland, Oregon,
and one day one of our young women who worked there played an album by Sonic Youth. To me it was nothing but noise, so I asked her, "what is this, it sounds like a washing machine." She nudged me and told me to be quiet. I
asked why. She pointed to a customer close to us and said "he's from Sonic
Youth, and this is an album of theirs." I'm not sure which band member it
was, but they chuckled. The next album that came out of theirs was titled
"Washing Machine." True story."
