Air conditioning for audiophiles.

I have researched this quite extensively for my wife who insisted we change our air conditioner 3 years ago because it was too noisy. The quietest window-based air conditioner I can find is this one. I live in an apt building, co-op, where split air conditioning is not allowed. I think when I measured it, it was like 47 dB right at the vent at low speed (I just measured it for this post, a unit that is around 3 years old). Moving to the middle of my 350sd ft bedroom, I could barely hear it or notice it was running, it was that quiet. Post-installation, you can add weatherproofing seal around the window, and you may get 1 db less noise.

There are 3 sizes for this AC model.

+1 @theaudiotweak the only way to get where you want to go!

Back to Vornado as an FYI for those considering one (measured 24 inches away from side of fan):

- room noise with fan off: 31.7dB

- Low: 41.8

- medium 1: 48.1

- medium 2: 54.9

- high 61.6

measurements with a NIOSH meter.

I am into 8+ years full time RV and noise from the  AC was not bad on moderate days, only 90+ when I had to run both units but the energy used was huge. I installed a small window unit Evap cooler, into a wall and setup for easy removal for the winter. It uses almost exactly 20% of the energy, low enough to run on solar when I finish that project(very DIY)

So, I run the Evap most of the time as needed seasonally and run the AC unit on the other end of the RV, shared and ducted, when listening warrants paying attention or just get a bit hot to have almost no background noise.  Then again I just want to get a buzz and really crank it up and dance with the wonderful woman that blesses me with her presence.
