Does anyone own this AC and is it quite enough for a bedroom? The description says quiet but you can never hear the AC before buying it

I just got this AC for my own bedroom. of course it makes some noise but it relatively quiet and definitely not disruptive in any way. I like it, and I haven't had it for that long but it's working out pretty nicely�

We have this model, and it cools our family room (~200 sq. ft. and lots of windows) very easily. It is absolutely the quietest we've ever had.

Its VERY quite on fan, I would say on par with a split unit, even for a noise sensitive person like me (noise level is the only thing I look at when getting AC unit for bedroom), but when the compressor is running it does make a louder noise. I sleep with earplugs regardless, this is the only unit that won't wake me up at night.

I ditched my brand new frigidaire AC because it kept me up all night with the noise. I replaced it with this Friedrich AC and have been very pleased with how quiet it is. I'm back to sleeping well :-)

Yes, it is quiet. It is installed in one of our motel rooms and is so quiet when I walk in I have to look at the panel to see if it is on.

Yes, it is very quiet. It has 3 fan speeds. I have it in a bedroom, so to make it even quieter I put a strip of heavy felt on the sill to cut down on the compressor noise.

First of all, I don't think my AC (indicated) is any louder than any other its size. Secondly, I think if is laying flat and supported and cushioned it won't rattle and vibrate any more than another would. Hope this helps. Mine is into 2nd year. For 8,000 BTU's it does a reasonable job - so far anyway.

It's pretty quiet. I have it in my TV room and don't notice any noise...I don't have air conditioning anywhere in my house. I only use this portable one in one room and love it.

In my opinion, it's not noisy. I think it's more quiet than a window AC. I really like the hum of the motor, and it doesn't bother me at all.

We put this in a small office and it has been quieter than most air conditioners we have had. This air conditioner has a slight hum as most would expect from an air conditioner. As far as in your bedroom, this might be as quiet as it gets for you.

its very quiet. if you put your ear up to it... you hear a slight and continuous buzz. so, in an otherwise silent bedroom, it might be noticeable and irritating until you tune it out (if you can)... but all conventional outside and most conventional inside applications it will be unnoticeable.

It sounds like a normal fan. It's not extremely loud, but it does make noise. It works extremely well. I have a one bedroom as well and I love it.

This unit has low, medium, high setting for the fan speed. On the low setting this unit is pretty quiet. I would say it is quiet enough to be used while sleeping. The sound from a window AC comes from two sources: the compressor, and the fan. I observed that the compressor is also very quiet. My application was in a small home office and had the unit mounted "casement" style, not in a window. How this helps.

It is REALLY noisy, seriously I will be returning mine because of that. I had bought for my bedroom but this is unbearable, even the lowest speed generates so much more noise than my old AC on the max speed.

I would say it was pretty quiet. I mean, you can hear the fan but it is not annoying. In fact, I think it would be rather soothing in a bedroom - kind of like white noise.

I wouldnt call it a 'quiet' fan. But neither is it loud. I would put it right in the middle. We can leave it on and not hear it in the bedroom attached to the bathroom if the door is closed, just a low hum, but easy to sleep through. I did notice that it got a little bit louder after a few months of installing it, but I may just need to clean it a little.

When going into the attic u can hear the unit running but it doesn't make a lot of noise (maybe the low setting of a room fan). The unit was install right over the master bedroom and I never really heard the fan running. As for vibration..... None at all. The unit in my opion is wroth the money (the house is older and the insulation is worthless plus our attic is very large), but if u have a different lay out u might get a different result.If u in fact buy the unit, don't forget to write it off at tax time. U can write off the unit cost and the install cost.... I think.

This is the most versatile fan I have used. SO many angles and positions. And, yes, it is very quiet. It is a fan so isn't completely silent. It depends on how high you turn it up. Bedroom? I think so. Good luck!

It's not super noisy but it's not whisper quiet either. I have mine in the living room, I don't know that it'd be good for running overnight in a bedroom. Also, I live in NYC and probably have a higher noise tolerance than people who live in rural or suburban areas.

It's pretty quiet. Like any other room fan, just background noise. It turned out to be really helpful this winter....definitely worth the $
