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’s what I’m thinking, it also may not be installed very well which could be a factor. It’s not quite level, which is supposedly not good for them. I’m planning on replacing it within the next year or three depending on budget and how well it holds out. It seems to work great otherwise, it definitely is much more efficient than anything I’ve had previously.
