Riffing off the earlier post about heat pumps in cold weather (https://lemmy.world/post/10270502), how much noise does your heat pump make?
We’re sandwiched between houses with traditional AC units and in the summer the noise level from each is oppressive. Would I be producing the same amount of noise, year round, if I install a heat pump?
EDIT: the AC units to either side of us are old (at least 10 years) and probably cheaper models. Maybe newer/better ones are quieter?
That said, the two noisy parts are in my basement and outside, so meh, whatever. It’s never bothered me. Every now and then I’ll be in the basement when it kicks on, and it’s mostly just reassuring, like at least that things still working fine.
