Yes very quiet and very fast with building up pressure. Heavy but best compressor I've ever owned.

The unit is whisper quiet. If you put it on auto fan, you hardly know the unit is on. The compressor does kick in, but it doesn't blast in and is actually no louder than a window unit.

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.

No..the unit is quieter than my dishwasher or even the fridge when the comoressor is running. Id say equal to a small desk fan. I cannot hear it unless im in the kitchen.

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.

It is very quiet. It is much quieter than other small appliances. The impact on my energy bill is insignificant.

No, this machine is whisper quiet. You'll be surprised at how little noise it makes.

Quiet is a subjective term :) but I would say yes. We have it in our bedroom and noise has not been an issue.

No, it doesn't make much noise. The unit is heavy enough to minimize vibration to the floor. My wife easily watches TV in the same room when I'm using it.

Yes very quietly ... A little click when it shuts off. You can't hear any noise when it's running .

The unit I installed is very quiet. Even with the cabinet door open you can hardly hear it. Mine is installed with flexible hoses going to and from the unit (no copper tubing).

It is very quiet. It runs all night while we sleep. Sometimes we have to go over to the machine and check to see if is still on. Even if you should happen to hear the unit, it is a "white noise" that will help you sleep.

I love this air conditioner but I would not consider it a very quiet machine. We have one in our family room and generally have to turn it off to enjoy TV.

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.
