Customer Rating: - Yep, it's loud.
These people aren't lying to you. This thing is unreasonably loud. It's between 10-20 dB louder than its competitors.

Customer Rating: - Cools the room, but so loud
I can sleep through anything so it doesnt bother me, but it is tremendously loud (sounds like you are sitting near a wing of a plane) But it does cool my large bedroom with high ceilings.
So if noise doesnt bother you and its on sale get it.

Customer Rating: - Loudest air conditioner I've ever had
This is the worst air conditioner we've ever had. It sounds like 3 hair dryers going at once. I can't even stand to be in the room for more than 15 minutes, and here we are in the middle of a heat wave! The cooling part isn't up to par either. It cools more like a 5000 btu unit. It's going back.

Customer Rating: - EXTREMELY LOUD
This has to be one of the LOUDEST air conditioning units I've ever come across. All 3 settings are noisy and difficult to ignore. If you're trying to watch tv or a movie while its on, you have to blast your tv. I'm actually a heavy sleeper and not really affected by noise when I sleep but I could NOT sleep with this AC unit on.

It also takes a really long time to cool the room. I honestly gave this product a chance but the noise was unbearable and I'm returning it today. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
