Is this unit loud? Is it good for indoor install?

No it is not loud. You can here it running but acceptable. I have it installed in my basement bar and love it. I only turn it on when I am having company. This unit will require a floor drain or condensate pump. Very happy with the unit. Hope this helps.

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

It is not loud at all. I use mine in the basement while my family is asleep. I use it to cut brass and it is about as loud as a box fan on high power. You should be fine.

To be honest it's not really quiet but not annoyingly loud either. I have 3 of them in a rack mount in my 12 x 15 ft. living space and don't really notice them unless it's really quiet. Hope that helps! You'll love the power. The 4000 isn't much more cost wise if need a little xtra zing! I have 4 - 12" into 4 ohm drivers and that's what i use.

One other thought. If there is a Lowes or Home Depot near you with demonstration fans, run one with a similar Sone rating and then you can get a feel for how loud it will be. Best of luck. Stephen

For a bedroom, the On-Q AU7394 plays loud enough. I bought two units and both were installed in a bedroom and believe me it's loud enough. We never have to put the volume to its max.

Yes, quite loud though. Will also heat up the room a bit. Manual says to avoid areas like that, but doesn't say why.

Ha-Ha! Never thought of that. Mine isn't as loud - perhaps because I used foam on all 4 sides (the peel'n'stick type) on the window itself. Yes, there is noise - the unit is pretty basic (and I knew this) - but the price was good, so I balanced out the noise with $ savings. Also, it seems that the unit is pretty crudely built, so maybe there are noise levels which vary from unit to unit. It runs well, for me. I also live in NYC, so noise isn't an issue, it's a daily lifestyle.

Sure, why not? I would recommend it in a smaller room due to its cfm rating. Just remember it is louder than most reviews state. The noise has not been a problem for me, I wanted something with style, not all white plastic.

Depends on where it is used. In the garage it isn't bad, but in a bedroom it will seem louder. Hope this helps.

I use mine in a shop, I would say the noise level would be similar to that of a box fan. The unit does a great job.

You will have no issues with noise with this unit. It is a very quite motor and especially at the speed of 1.5 you will barely hear anything

It is a little loud. But I have it in my garage and watch tv. I just turn it up a lil louder than normal �

Loud. The fan (only) is not bad, but when that compressor kicks in, it's noise. The unit is in a window about 7 to 8 feet from my bed.

Absolutely. Very loud for the size of the unit. I have used this model in a 3000 square foot kitchen and it can be heard very well.

Perceived level of noise can be kind of subjective, but I don't find that it bothers me. It is not silent, but I have not turned on fans or wall AC units before due to noise and this one does not seem to interfere with my need of quiet.

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.
