We had an older unit (maybe 10-15 years) it was quite loud. This one is comparably quieter. It is not silent though; it does make noise. I am very happy w our unit... bought another for a different room. I give it (both Friedriches actually) 5 stars.

I don't agree with the other two answers. This air conditioner is the quietest one I have ever own. I had it installed about 15" from the ceiling, I also have a ceiling fan that we use. I give it 5 stars.

No it is quite loud. I have had mine for two years and the noise is the biggest disappointment. I don't know how it compares to other A/C units as this my first one but I have to almost double the volume of my TV to be able to hear it.

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.

It is quite loud. I agree with Richard on the tv volume having to be increased.

I have the 140 in my kitchen and it is not noisy at all. The only noise it makes is when it's pumping water into the heating chamber and it's not enough to even think about. I love mine it's bullet proof.

It's pretty quiet, has a little hum to it, but it's not real load, hope that helps

It has some low range noise but only when it's running to make new ice. Otherwise, very quiet. I'm loving mine.

Mine is very quiet. It's idle most of the time, but makes a slight noise when it activates to do a backup.

I don't think it's noisy at all. The only noticeable sound I can recall of comes from the fan, still quite discrete.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

By my standards not very. I think it is quieter than my old one was. It is definitely quieter than my daughter's and hers is smaller.

I had some previous models, that were a little quieter, but those models are no longer made. They have been superseded with this model, and it's pretty darn quiet! I'm a light sleeper, and i use one near bed, with no problem. Enjoy!

I consider it very quiet, but there is a faint humming sound. I don't think you can get one that is silent.

I hear absolutely zero noise. I dont think it even has a fan? One thing tho: I had an older model and the dsp chip died at some point. Repair was going to be 400 bucks so i had to trash it and buy a new one. Not really cool.

Quite a bit quieter than my old one. On the high setting you can still hear it, but I generally use the middle setting and it is much more efficient and WAY quieter. Remember you are getting about 80% of the flow for 50% of the electricity, and about half the noise.

I'm not sure of what you mean, but it is smooth when operating and when its done , not loud at all . I have had many before this one , including under cabinet, I will always get this one. so with this being said I do believe you would love it. I hope this help you.

Yes. Very quiet. I love mine. I have had it for about 5 months now and so far it has been worth the money I paid.

In my opinion no; it is about as noisy as I expected it to be. I barely notice it when it does come on and it may be partly due to just having gotten used to it. However, I can see how someone might say it is noisy. This has been a great machine for me once I got the refrigerant level fixed. It may ship with very little refrigerant and you may need someone to come out and add some if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

Sorry, it's not quiet at all. It's a very nice size and is great when it works, but truthfully, I've had about 6 of these. They break so easily. I've recently switched to a different brand.

No more than any other one I have owned, I would not say its quiet, but on par with other low priced vacs:-)
