hi ,that's correct ,it is loud and another problem is I really like to hang it to the wall but I can not ,it is too heavy and I was thinking maybe ,it damage the wall.

I wouldn't say its loud, but you can definitely hear it when it's on. Mine is hanging on a plaster wall not drywall.

I'd personally be hesitant to put this up on drywall alone. With one SUP and one longboard, I have a lot of weight on mine and I'm glad it's in studs (but it was easy in my unfinished garage, studs are my only option!) I know drywall can actually hold quite a bit, so maybe if you have smaller boards with less weight it might be ok. So like the other responses I say it depends on your comfort zone with the weight you are throwing on them. Suerte!

One other comment to add. I read where one person said it was loud. Mine is relatively quiet...much quieter than an up right.

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.

Hi, in my opinion would not put a bracket on the wall. Try to put on a shelf that can leave one behind at least 20cm of space. The sound is much better. If you want to still, buy one universal, has a fitting to screw into the back of the speaker. Bye.

Mine is noisy, but kind of a white noise. If I had it in the bedroom, it would not bother me, but I like that type of noise to be able to cover for other random noises from outside. It is most definitely NOT a quiet unit, though.

We had an older unit (maybe 10-15 years) it was quite loud. This one is comparably quieter. It is not silent though; it does make noise. I am very happy w our unit... bought another for a different room. I give it (both Friedriches actually) 5 stars.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

The unit is loud with the fan and burner going. Also you have a confined space, where the outlet is pointed is of concern. Again confined space, air quality will be an issue, possibly lethal.

I do not consider the unit to be loud. It does run a fan continuously to move the air in the room so it does not turn off very much. The unit has an energy star rating. Love the unit - - seems to be one of the best that I've encountered.

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

I mounted mine on it's side along the frame of my truck. I positioned it close to a body mount bracket to reduce the water that may splash into the intake part of the compressor. It's loud though try to isolate it the best you can.

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.

It is excellent on drywall. You have more control in the tube form which makes it easier to use. Make sure to push to top on until you hear or feel a click.

this is the only unit i have ever had so it is hard for me to say. it is not loud, but you can tell it is on. the higher the setting the louder it is, but it is not annoyingly loud. sorry i could not be more helpful!

On mine, I attached a wooden board to the roofs structural cross beam with 2 drywall screws under the roof felt. NOTE - Make sure the screws are not too long where they would puncture the roof. The unit can then be fastened to the board at the 4 mounting holes. Sound from this unit is okay - I hear static even with a ground isolator.

I would say to never ever ever hang anything besides pictures on just drywall. U will need to drive this into studs. Great mount for the job! Be safe!
