Noise Considerations
Quiest central air conditioners
All air conditioners are noisy, but some are louder than others. Manufacturers usually publish the decibel ratings of units on their websites and product sheets, so you may want to look up these figures and consider placement of the unit.
We found knowledgeable information in Professional Remodeler magazine from a government organization called The Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing. Susan Conbere and Glen Salas advise, "If you're looking for a quiet condenser, choose an Energy Star qualified system with a nominal sound level of 76 decibels or less."
