NORMAL SOUNDS

Gurgle/Hiss

“Gurgling or hissing” noise may be 

heard due to refrigerant passing 

through evaporator during normal 

operation.

Sound of Rushing Air

At the front of the unit, you may hear 

the sound of rushing air being moved 

by the fan.

2

High pitched Chatter

Today’s high efficiency compressors 

may have a high pitched chatter during 

the cooling cycle.

3

4

Vibration

Unit may vibrate and make noise 

because of poor wall or window 

construction or incorrect installation.

5

Pinging or Swishing

Droplets of water hitting condenser 

during normal operation may cause 

“pinging or swishing” sounds.

Note: Don’t try to drill any holes on the 

base pan to eliminate the normal 

sounds, otherwise it will void the 

warranty.
