10 of the quietest air conditioners

A quiet air conditioner is an ideal solution for the constant provision of fresh air not only to the bedroom, but also to any part of the apartment, and sometimes the office, where silence is often the key to a high-quality result of the work of employees. Despite the abundance of various air-conditioning devices, it can be very difficult to find a really quiet model, because there are very few of them. In addition, when choosing it is important to remember a number of nuances on which it depends how inconspicuous the air conditioner will work for the human ear.

The main technical characteristic, which experts recommend to pay attention in this particular case, is the noise level. This indicator is measured in decibels and determines the volume of the fan. The manufacturer usually indicates the minimum and maximum values ​​that indicate the noise level when operating at the lowest and highest speeds, respectively. Models with a minimum noise level of around 20 to 35 decibels are traditionally considered quiet enough to be used in an apartment and even a bedroom. However, the sound of the fan itself is not the only thing that can interrupt sleep.

Conventional most inexpensive air conditioners consist of a single unit inside the apartment, which is why they can hardly be called silent. Therefore, when choosing a quiet ventilating device, for example, for a bedroom, split systems are recommended. They consist of two blocks, one of which is located outside. A quieter unit, known as an internal one, is usually quite miniaturized and differs in almost completely silent operation, thanks to which it can be installed anywhere. People with the most sensitive sleep should also pay attention to the split-system with inverter technology, which eliminates abrupt mode changes, often accompanied by additional sounds.
