AIR CONDITIONER SOUND LEVELS
LISTEN TO A SPLIT SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER ACTUALLY RUNNING
AIR CONDITIONER SOUND LEVELS measured for all the world to see. You can compare the sounds of a real split system air conditioner running, compared to an everyday sound of a lightswitch we are all familiar with
AIR CONDITIONER
SOUND LEVELS
Two videos. One Midea and one Mitsubishi split system, each running under normal conditions. A light switch flicking so you can compare the two
We get asked so many times ‘What does this air conditioner sound like? ‘how loud will it be? Is it going to disturb my neighbours?’
I say that depends on your neighbours and then start waffling on about something totally unrelated.. It’s best to just smile and tune out.
This page is not disability friendly. When I called up the sign language dude who always stands next to important people and translates their lies he didn’t want to be part of this project. If you’re deaf that’s just too bad. I did try.
Every year we install more air conditioners than just about any other company in Australia. Over 650 + just from September to March 2017. Then the same in 2018, and 2019. Then there was a rude interruption by our beloved big husband government who desperately needed to fill a quota set by the ADL.
After the significant business interruption in which two of my vans were stolen, along with all the tools, fuel, stock, and customers, I had to start over from nothing. Most amazing to me was that the cockroaches employed by the state of QLD wearing a certain uniform still call me to install their air cons and attempt to hide the fact that Ian Leavers is their union rep. They should be aware that I miss nothing. And keep detailed records. :)
HOW LOUD WILL YOUR NEW AIR CONDITIONER BE?
HOW LOUD IS IT?
By watching these videos you will know exactly how loud your air conditioner will be. On the left is the 7kw MHI, and the right is a Midea 7kw. The MHI is rated at 46 dB and the Midea at 67dB, but can you really tell the difference? Twenty dB difference you would think significant, but apparently not. Perhaps its time for a new sound scale. I propose we now measure noise levels in sW. (Screaming Wife)
As you can see the Mitsubishi on the left max’s out at 0.12 sW while the Midea on the right is just slightly higher at 0.15 sW Either way, you’re far better off marrying one of these air conditioners.
If only they could drive us home from the pub all our logistical problems would be solved. I will put a technical request in to MHI today.
AIR CON NOISE SHOULD BE AS FAINT AS A SQUIRREL FART ON THE AUTUMN BREEZE
AIR CONDITIONER SOUND LEVELS
Should not be heard by man nor beast. Unless that man is very close to it. And then he probably should hear it or get his ears checked.
