when not in use is there cover or something to stop air flow and sound ?

No, you would need to build your own enclosure or have someone else build it.

It has a switch on the the cover...i installed it to a light switch, so when I leave the area, I turn off the light and the fan at the same time

no cover that I know of but I bet you could use the covers for a smoke detector you put on while cooking

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

As others had stated, when the dust coats the hoses and bucket it helps somewhat. Even after that mine was always noisey! Ear protection is recommended.

Styrofoam is supposed to be there. Cheap and effective way of absorbing and reducing outside noise from coming in through the AC

NOT REALLY NOISY.. YOU CAN HEAR THE AIR FLOW BECAUSE IT MOVES A GREAT DEAL OF AIR. I LOVE IT!!!not sure what noise reduction is?

There's an exhaust on one of the sides. You have to vacuum in favor of the exhaust side to keep the dirt swept up from blowing anywhere.

No to both questions. It will stop blowing ac air but it stays on unless you put it to sleep

The engine needs to breathe while running. As long as the air intake and discharge is not blocked by cover - you are OK. exhaust is vented thru the prop.

No. But the speaker in the front center can be covered/blocked easily to at least make the music more quiet (though the fan remains loud regardless).

sounds like it has a problem, there should be no noise coming from unit, contact manufacturer or place of purchase.

thank you. I am getting an evaporative cooler (none of the stores stock them) from Lowe's, which was very helpful. As for noise... it can't be worse than an a/c.

it dampens the sounds to a muffle but doesn't stop it entirely. I find that most of the sound "leakage" occurs around the gap in the doors. Make sure those are sealed.

our air bed is inside of a mattress type cover for the sofa bed. Then we put another protective quilted mattress cover, it seems to work well though you can still hear sounds from movement

The unit has a fan that makes noice when venting to prevent from getting hot when use.Hope this helps.

No. We don't find them a distraction. Actually, they give us an indication of what the unit is doing. We can't hear the fan unless it is running at one of the higher speeds. We have ours set on auto, and as the air quality gets worse, the fan increases speed and clears it quickly. It's been on auto for a year, and other than changing the filters, it's 24/7.

The short answer is no. When the air conditioner is running, it needs to vent freely. This is for use in the winter when the air conditioner is off. Check out the mesh cover which you can use in the summer to keep out debris.

The owner of the a/c company that services the unit said that this type of sound blanket would not have any negative effect on the compressor..that it wouldn't restrict air flow. It's only been 3 months but so far, so good.
