Does the compressor cycle frequently? When it does come on, is it quiet or would you have to turn up your tv volume?

I forget mine is in the room. It is in our dining room though and not in a really quiet area. I never hear it.

I run mine on money saver and do not have a pulsating noise or unusual loudness. When the AC kicks in the sound does increase with the compressor and fan. Maybe the auto-swing function is not correctly working or the unit is not mounted adequately.

I don't know if this applies to your situation, but when I first installed mine and turned it on the unit had to run for about 3 or 4 minutes before the compressor kicked in. This has also been the case when I unplugged it to move to a different outlet. The operating manual does mention that this is normal.

Not constantly. When it is running the noise doesn't really bother me - I keep it in the kitchen and it's not much different than a refrigerator/freezer in my opinion.

Have not had any problems with my unit. I do not like to keep air in the tank for any extended time due to condensation build up and possible rust inside the tank. My compressor is stored with drain valve open. It is the quietest compressor I have ever heard and has always worked for me. I have had the rolair for a little over a year now.

If you ask me I would say that there isn't much compressor noise. However the ice maker and catch tray is quite load I bought mine in January but I'm still getting used to it..... Hope this helps!

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.

Its quiet. I usd it as a bedroom refrigerator, and didnt hear it. Prior, I used it as a freezer, and it was very quiet. Great little appliance.

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.

Personally, I don't find it to be too noisy. It's considerably less noisy than my compressor. It's just like a whirring/windy sound from a couple of fans spinning. But you might check with the manufacturer for the decibel rating for a less subjective appraisal.

I had that same question- you can find it at their website. www.californiaairtools.comIt really depends on whether you will be using it continually or intermittently. They have a chart that I found useful to determine which one I needed. Basically, you should not use this unit when the compressor is running for 1 hour continuously without cutting it off and letting it cool. I will say that it is VERY quiet. I use it in an office building and have had no complaints from neighbors.

this one has that feature and is a very quiet running compressor; I recommend it highly. The only downside is the small tank. I added a 5 gallon propane tank for extra volume. With a ball valve cutoff between the tank and compressor, I can use it or not.

Quiet! I have it located in my shop and I can still hear the radio when the compressor is running.

Is quiet enough. I usually used it while I watch TV and there is no problem at all.

Super quiet on the lowest setting. Moderately loud on the highest setting. No noise from the motors, just from the air moving. I don't have any problem with drowning out my TV.

It is as quiet as any i have used in the past. Low hum most of thew time ,makes a louder sound when the compressor kicks in . Overall happy.

There are two volume settings on it. Even the lowest setting is not very quiet. I can hear it while the tv is on at a normal volume...If that helps at all.
