The quietest air conditioners for cooling bedrooms

The heat can be unbearable, and while you can tolerate it during the day, at night it seems impossible to sleep. This is why more and more families are focusing their attention on air conditioning, choosing quiet models that cool the air without compromising their sleep.

How to choose a silent air conditioner

There are several aspects to consider, but let's start with internal noise, which is closely related to the split unit in the room. It's expressed in decibels and is easy to read: it shouldn't normally exceed 50 dB, but the best-performing units go down to 25 dB, often combined with a sleep or night mode. To put it simply: around this threshold, the noise generated is similar to a whisper or the rustling of leaves.

A distinction must be made between internal and external noise : while external noise (i.e. from the engine outside the house) can reach up to 60 dB without causing any particular discomfort, internal noise has a direct impact on daily comfort.

Noise of air conditioners without external units

Monoblock models , meaning those without an external unit, are often chosen for aesthetic reasons or due to condominium restrictions. In these units, the motor is integrated into the single unit inside the room, making them generally noisier than traditional split air conditioners.

For this reason, those seeking maximum silence should only consider them if they have no alternatives or if noise is not a priority issue.
