Quiet Window AC
Hopefully there are some out there who have not yet installed central a/c. I need to replace my aging window units. I have tried extensively to find noise ratings on window a/cs, but cannot. And places like PC Richards don’t let you turn them on to hear them run. Any recommendation for really quiet brands?…

Any recommendation for really quiet brands? I have a Panasonic which is whisper quiet, almost like a fan but Panasonic don’t make a/cs any more.
I bought a Kenmore 8,000 BTU unit from Sears.com (item #04276081000) after reading the review on Consumer Reports. It’s very quiet compared with the Maytag 8,000 BTU it replaced and the Frigidaire 5,000 BTU (FAA055P7A1) in another room. I would recommend it.
Check out Consumer Reports online, they have archived articles on rating air conditioners and sound level is one of the criteria. Several years ago we bought LG air conditioners from their recommendations and have been very pleased at how much better and quieter they are than our old Friedrichs.
go to the PC Richards in Elmhurst. They turn them on for you.
I have a couple of Freidrichs which seem pretty quiet, at least compared to the older ACs they replaced.
