How loud is this unit?

On a scale of 1 to 10, based on generators I've been around, I would rate at 6. About what you would expect from an average gas push mower.

Nothing like a honda. If u use it to play music. U cant hear the music. With age it gets louder. If you dont want to pay $1000 for a honda. A muffler shop.or a lawn mower shop can make a muffler for it. For not much $

It is not whisper quiet. You will know when it is running. I have it outside of the house and when I am indoor with all windows and doors closed, I can hear it. Nothing too crazy, but can be heard.

not loud at all. I used it in an office setting and it didn't disturb anyone.

It's definitely loud enough and you can pick a song/tune/sound that will make it louder. I'm quite hard of hearing and chose one that yells and I can hear it throughout the house (3200 sf). I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Not loud at all. I am a very light sleeper and it hasn't disturbed me yet. Very happy with it.

This unit is not too terribly loud. I would not say it is super quite though either. With it on and TV on at same time, you do need to turn up the volume a bit on the TV to hear it easily. But in my experience, that is the case with any in-room a/c unit. I would rate this one about average for sound volume.

Not loud that loud. I can watch tv and walk on the fast pace up to 3 mph without turning up the volume. For me this has been the best one we have owned.

It's as loud as any other portable. It's louder when the condenser is on vs just the fan. You'll get used to it though.

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.

mine is plenty loud at about 1/3 volume, but the unit is about 2 ft from memine seems to be audible, from 10ft away-not loud, but audibleI keep the TV volume muted, its just me in the TV room, most of the time, but if wife is watching TV, with me, I just turn the TV volume upI really think this is made, to set close to someone that has hearing lossHope this helps

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.

Not at all too loud. It's very quiet. But remember the duct tape for covering those HOT metal arms.

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

not loud at all. I would use it indoors if we had a room big enough and tall enough

Its not loud at all - I have it in my living room where my TV is as well and it barely makes more than a bit of a very light hum when it's running (I use the auto setting so it kicks on periodically when it needs to and usually in a low mode although once in a while higher). I can barely just hear it when there is nothing on like a tv or radio and sometimes miss it all together if I am focused on what I am doing. Can't hear it at all with the TV on.

It's not loud for sure. I really like mine. It may have a little noise but it's soothing and honestly I don't notice it.
