Air conditioning noise

Modern home air conditioning is much quieter than many people expect. Indoor units are designed for living spaces and bedrooms; on low settings they produce a soft background sound.

Indoor and outdoor sound

• Indoor unit — quiet enough for a bedroom on its lower fan speeds.
• Outdoor unit — produces a low hum; the key is placement. Siting the outdoor unit away from windows and boundaries keeps it unobtrusive for you and neighbours.

Keeping it quiet

• Choose a well-rated unit and the right size for the room.
• Position the outdoor unit thoughtfully.
• Use lower fan speeds overnight.

An installer will advise on expected sound levels for your rooms. Request an installer match.
