Review content:

The modern world surrounds people with thousands of different industrial sounds. Then, when we find ourselves at home, we want to enjoy peace and quiet. Air conditioners for an apartment are definitely a necessary thing. However, you need to choose them not only by appearance or functionality. The air conditioner should give you coolness and easy breathing, but at the same time not irritate your household or neighbors with its noise.

Permissible noise levels of air conditioners for an apartment

The evolution of air conditioners is associated with the development of home, small-sized models. They are distinguished by low noise levels, rapid cooling of room temperatures, stable maintenance of this temperature, as well as minimal energy consumption.

The noise level of air conditioners is determined by a conventional unit of measurement - decibel (dB). It shows how different pitches of sounds are. The hearing threshold is defined as 0 dB, and sounds up to 25 dB are practically inaudible to the human ear.

You should pay particular attention to the noise level of an air conditioner if you are choosing it for a bedroom. This type of device must have the following characteristics: the noise level of the indoor unit can range from 26 to 36 dB; The noise level of the outdoor unit is from 28 to 54 dB.

If the air conditioner is to be used for a work room in an apartment or for an office, this factor will not be decisive. As a rule, the constant noise level in such rooms is about 40-45 dB.

After reviewing this information, a person can conclude: you need to purchase an air conditioner with the lowest noise level, and there will be no problems. However, in practice everything is somewhat different. Often, air conditioners whose noise level is, for example, 35 dB, operate much quieter than air conditioners with a parameter of 27 dB.

The reason is that each model has several modes, and each of them has an individual noise level. The indoor unit creates noise arising from passing air currents. The air passes through several systems: ventilation, radiator, blinds. Therefore, the real noise level of the air conditioner can only be heard at low speed.

However, the air conditioner cannot operate in a single low mode. Especially on hot summer days in the southern regions, such a speed of operation of the device will not provide noticeable results. It simply cannot cool the temperature in the room. The best air conditioners for apartments have the function of automatically switching to higher speeds. This ensures not only the comfort of the consumer, but also the correct operation of the device itself.

When purchasing an air conditioner, try to test it at different speed settings to find out the upper noise threshold. Few consumers understand the technical capabilities of the device. That’s why we turn to professionals with the question of how to choose an air conditioner. Very often, consultants in household appliance stores tell you only the lower noise threshold, the smallest parameter. For example, the noise level of an air conditioner in different modes is 25-30-35 dB. They will tell you only the smallest indicator - 25 dB.

When an air conditioner operates, a number of noises are sure to occur. You will hear a characteristic clicking sound when switching in the compressor relay. Also obligatory noises are the sounds of water and gurgling. They accompany the process of stopping the compressor.

How to choose a quiet air conditioner for your home

Quiet air conditioners produce smooth sounds similar to wind noise. To decide on your model, look through the catalogs of various brands, taking into account the lower and maximum noise thresholds. When purchasing online, check the “low noise” filter.

Japanese air conditioners are leaders in the line of quiet devices. They are also the most expensive. Their secret lies in the production of quiet units (internal and external).

Consider the noise your air conditioner will make outside your home. You can use the device only with the windows closed, so you will not hear the noise of external units. But neighbors who do not have air conditioning will hear the obsessive noise of engines when they open their windows.

The noise of cheap Chinese models can be heard even through a closed window. Very often, the internal units of budget air conditioner brands do not emit noise, while the external units maintain a consistently high noise level.

According to standards, the noise level of external units should not exceed the noise level inside residential premises, which is about 30-60 dB. Some manufacturers indicate the noise level in other indicators - in dBA. This is the sound pressure level. Sound pressure is lower than sound power, therefore 12-14 units must be subtracted from the dBA indicator to get the dB indicator.

Air conditioner Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-GE25VA/MUZ-GE25VA

The MSZ-GE25VA/MUZ-GE25VA air conditioner model provides a comfortable microclimate at home, as well as in the office. Its advantages are excellent operation in cooling and heating modes, consumption of a small amount of electricity. This air conditioner is characterized by extremely quiet operation. The noise parameter is up to 19 dB, which makes it almost inaudible in the apartment.

The Japanese model has a reliable inverter motor, which significantly increases the performance of the air conditioner. The Mitsubishi Electric air conditioner filter system has a full-size filter (antioxidant). This filter has an impressive service life of about nine years. In addition, it has an additional anti-allergenic insert. It is included as an additional option that you can use if necessary.

An important indicator of the model is the large number of modes and functions, as well as ease of use and ease of maintenance. The latter is ensured by a collapsible housing, which allows you to clean the device yourself.

Air conditioner DAIKIN FTXS25D/RXS25F

Among the advantages:

1. The presence of a motion sensor (2-zone), which directs air flows in the direction where there is a person.
2. If there are no people in the room, the air conditioner starts working in economical modes. When operating in the “cooling” mode, about 20% of electricity is saved, while in the “cooling + heating” mode - 30%.
3. Thanks to the smart eye, the air conditioner can be placed even in places that were previously not suitable for the system (for example, above the bed in the bedroom).
4. A titanium and apatite filter purifies the air, removes dust microparticles, helps fight unpleasant odors (cigar smoke), kills bacteria and viruses (decontamination).

The technology is as follows: dust does not settle on the air conditioner filters, but is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. This process takes place under the influence of titanium oxide and ultraviolet radiation.

Air conditioner Panasonic CS-XE9JKDW

The most important feature of the Panasonic CS-XE9JKDW air conditioner is its incredibly quiet operation. The model is equipped with a special “Silence” button. When this button is pressed, the noise level is reduced to 20dB. In addition, the air conditioner does not make clicking noises when switching. This is typical for non-inverter models. Even when running on cooling, the noise level is only 21 dB.

This device generates ions that capture the smallest dust particles and attract them back to the filter walls. This “boomerang” principle protects the health of the consumer, significantly reducing the risk of the spread of respiratory diseases. Panasonic CS-XE9JKDW has universal microclimate indicators. This is due to the fact that the air conditioner can change the direction of air flow (four directions).

Air conditioner TOSHIBA RAS-10N3KVR-E

Pros of this model:

1. Economical energy consumption;
2. Pleasant and convenient design with LEDs;
3. Self-diagnosis;
4. Various blind positions;
5. Ionization function;
6. Self-drying function.

The air conditioner has a number of advantages, among which the main one is its low noise level. However, among the shortcomings, experts highlight the lack of backlight on the control panel, the lack of an indicator of the current temperature, and the ability to change the position of the blinds only manually.

Air conditioner MIDEA MS11D-07HRN1

Among the advantages:

• Low price;
• Ability to diagnose freon leaks;
• Stability in work;
• Deodorizing filter;
• Three different fan speeds;
• Settings memory function.

The user can set the night mode directly from the control panel. This mode has a seven-hour cycle with changing temperature settings. The noise level is minimal, and so is the level of power consumption.

This model is easy to disassemble, since the front panel is quickly detached from the structure. This makes it possible to wash the air conditioner at home. High quality plastic is used in manufacturing, which completely eliminates the possibility of foreign odors at the beginning of operation. An important function is the timer setting - you can program the work for the whole day.

What should be the permissible noise level when operating a domestic air conditioner?

The noise level of the internal units of modern household air conditioners lies in the range of 26-30 dB at rated operating load, which corresponds to the noise level of a person whispering.

Sounds with noise levels below 25 dB are virtually inaudible. When a household air conditioner is operating at maximum load, the noise level of the indoor unit is 33-38 dB, which corresponds to a quiet conversation or noise during the operation of office equipment (fax, copier, printer, etc.). Therefore, when choosing a model of household air conditioner for a child’s room, bedroom or personal office, you need to pay attention to the noise level of the internal unit of the split system.

The outdoor unit of the split system is moved outside, since the noise level during compressor operation can reach up to 50 dB at maximum load, which is acceptable for a residential area. If your neighbors have their windows open, they will be able to hear this noise well, especially at night. The noise level of a faulty household air conditioner may exceed the permissible standards for a residential area. Be careful when choosing a household air conditioner and its noise emissions.

Questions and comments (2) - What should be the permissible noise level when operating a domestic air conditioner?

• What should I do if, when my neighbor’s outdoor unit of the split system is operating, there is a hum in the room even during the day (the windows are closed)?

  Igor April 25, 2015 1:22:47 pm

• Hello, Igor! The first option to eliminate noise is to talk to your neighbors to see if the company that installed the air conditioner installs vibration isolators between the brackets that hold the outdoor unit and the so-called “feet” of the air conditioner. This can help. If this does not help, then the second option is to move the brackets with the outdoor unit a little to the side. Maybe this will help. In your situation, most likely, the fasteners for the air conditioner brackets (facade dowels) are located next to the fittings in the outer wall or even in contact with it. When the air conditioner operates, dowels and fittings fall into resonance and these fittings produce additional noise due to vibration in the wall. If moving the unit does not help (this is the design of the building), then option three is to contact Rospotrebnadzor with a complaint about increased noise from the outdoor unit. Representatives of this body must come and measure the noise level in the room. If it exceeds the permissible norm, then employees issue an order to neighbors to eliminate the source of noise. If within normal limits, then, unfortunately, you just have to endure it, because... everything is within the law.

The main criteria that we follow when purchasing a split system are its power and convenience for us. Power is assessed based on the purpose of the device, while comfort is determined by whether we got a quiet split system or whether it creates an unpleasant, intrusive noise.

Where does the noise come from in the air conditioner?

Before listing the ten least noisy air conditioners, let’s figure out what exactly creates noise in them.

Even the quietest split systems make at least a little noise. The design of each device contains moving standard mechanisms that make noise during operation. The noise of the outdoor unit can disturb the neighbors, and the noise of the indoor unit can disturb the owner of the split system. In the indoor block:

• Cooled air may make noise due to so-called aerodynamic turbulence. A new quiet air conditioner for a bedroom will most likely be equipped with an evaporator pipe muffler, or it will have an internal duct with a special profile.
• Noise can be created by fan blades, which modern manufacturers are successfully combating by developing new types of blade profiles and adjusting their rotation speed.
• Cheap plastic housings may crack due to temperature changes in budget models.
• The relay clicks when the operating mode changes. This disadvantage is absent in inverter air conditioners.
• Freon may gurgle or hiss due to the compressor switching and a change in the refrigerant flow in the system.

Choosing the quietest air conditioner

So, you have to choose a quiet split system. The amount of noise is measured in decibels and can be as follows:

• up to 25 dB - noise almost indistinguishable to the human ear;
• from 25 to 30 dB - noise similar to a quiet conversation in a whisper;
• from 35 to 45 dB - conversation “in a raised voice”;
• over 50 dB - the sound is too loud.

When noise characteristics are important to you, you should choose an inverter model. In addition to the fact that such a unit is very economical, it is also a quiet split system, creating noise in the range of 19-36 dB.

The quietest premium split systems:

• Daikin
• Mitsubishi Heavy
• Fujitsu General
• Panasonic

The quietest mid-class air conditioner:

• Hyundai
• McQuay

Low noise budget models:

• Ballu
• Midea

The choice of a specific model is a matter of taste and financial capabilities of each buyer. The main thing is to carefully read the noise parameters of a particular split system before purchasing.
