Everyone has a different tolerance level to noise and each homes floor plan is different allowing for changes in sound level between rooms. My experience with the sound is that if your in the same room and only the inner fan is running, you hardly know the unit is there. Once the compressor kicks on, I'll admit it's noisy, though in no way overbearing to the point you would need to talk loud to be heard (Again, this is in the same room with the unit.). When I'm in an adjoining room, I can hear the compressor when it's running but it doesn't bother me (It suttle enough to tune out.). I feel that I made a wise decision in buying it so far. Especially when I open the door and read the thermometer in a glass of water holding steady at 36 and the tower is cold to the touch. I'm looking forward to drawing that first beer real soon.
