Highseer.com spec shows noise level of 55db for the outdoor unit. Is it really that noisy?

Very quite. From the outside you just here the fan blowing, much like a box fan.

Your typical microwave is over 60Db. How quiet do you expect it to be? Usually you can barely hear it. Try the noise of a TV set, typically set at 65 Db.

It is pretty darn quiet, I've never measured, but it isn't noticeable if it is running or not most of the time. I've got one in my shop and I hear a window unit from 2 rooms (masonary walls) over it.

I measured mine at approximately 52 db from 3 feet. Keep in mind this is the outdoor unit. The indoor is much better, at 43 db full on. My neighbor's new central air unit is much, much louder than this at 63 db 30 feet away.

Hi James, I found the noise level to be negligible. You'd hear more noise from a bad road surface. I have to admit that I wasn't listening for it and didn't hear any.

The noise level is not high it is like a what you might here at a doctor's office, but if you are sensitive to higher frequency noise you will be able to notice it. The unit does provide great heating and it is very economical.

Relatively. I use it in an outdoor office, so I'm not very sensitive to its sound, but I haven't noticed it being overly loud when it's running.

Yes, and it is not noisy but the unit worked for only a very short time and is of poor quality. Company would not help. I would never buy it again.

I would say the noise level is about the same as others. Maybe just ever so slightly quieter. I bought it because it is very light in weight.

There is no noise unless you use the battery operated blower and even then it's a low hum. I've only used the blower once as I don't feel it's needed.

I have the newest model just delivered today. Nowhere near as noisy as the units in the videos. However mine is sitting on a concrete floor and not on wood.

Its not a consideration. It's not as loud as my himidifier, not as loud as the air circulating through my ductwork, not as loud as the AC. I might put it on par with, I dont know what. I actually didn't notice the noise so I can't recall. I guess it can't be that loud.

The noise level is very acceptable, considering the fact that you have no electric. Solid generator. Bought mine 6 yrs ago, money well spent.

I read the (decibel) dB's is high 50's on low fan. IMO, it is in-between loud and quiet, in the middle. Most of the noise comes from the water being hit by the condenser fan at the rear of the unit. Another noise I heard was the grille forward of the air filter which was vibrating. Two small foam pieces strategically placed, which came with the unit, removed that noise.

It ofcourse makes noise, but less than a lawn mower. You run it outside and I can hear it in the house, but it doesn't bother us.

I had no problem with noise from the unit. Even slept with it in a small bedroom and was surprised I didn't notice it after a short while. It is rated for 800 square ft. which meant I had to move it around until the problem resolved, but that was my fault for not paying attention to the details. Otherwise very pleased with the product. Hope this helps.

I have no way to measure the noise level. I have a set up with the generator in an open garage connected to a circuit running to the house that will run whatever I want that won't exceed the capacity of the generator. There are generators that will run quieter but they are much more expensive.

I am unsure of the exact noise level. In comparison to the sound of the generators in my neighborhood during a blackout, I'd say that although it is loud, it sounds like all the others.

It's not quiet. I used a sound level meter to compare it to a couple other units and it's literally 10-20 times louder. The sound it makes is also particularly annoying.

Not sure what you mean by 'noise level'. You know this is not a generator, right? The only time it makes noise is when you use the compressor for air inflation. Other than that, you won't get noise complaints from neighbors if you use it to power a TV or computer.
