A quick “full cycle” iPhone video that hopefully gives you an idea to what portable AC units sound like. The fan noise is manageable and similar to a regular fan on medium to high setting. But once the actual cooling unit kicks in (around 1:42), the noise becomes very noticeable and annoying. The issue isn’t the actual loudness but the quality of the sound which is deep and piercing. Think of it this way: if the fan is a regular speaker, the cooling unit is like a subwoofer. It’s very difficult to be in the same room at the same time.
The unit works well and would be fine for cooling a separate bedroom, but it’s not well suited for a single room apartment due to its size, noise levels and weight. I ended up returning the unit, but I’d buy one again if I could dedicate a separate room for it.
Model: Electrolux ChillFlex Pro Gold EXP26U758CW
EDIT: The volume level is quite low in this video, turn it up as much as you can to get a realistic impression
