New split AC System impact on sound.


I need to purchase a New split ac System (ie air handler in attic, Compressor outside). As with anything in this world so many complexities and my focus is to make things quiet when I’m listening to things.

Unfortunately, the compressor will be located outside of the room of my equipment. And I could choose a one stage or a variable stage heat pump that might be quieter. Anyone have recent experience and thoughts on how best to proceed for a moderately humid Area in the north east.

The problem with newer systems that I see is that the cooling coils don’t get as cold as they used to. Older R22 freon Systems which I currently have were more favorable toward reducing humidity in the home and the newer more environmentally friendly Freon varieties such as 410 and the newest 454b keep the coolant coil a little warmer which isn’t the greatest.

I recently had a 2 ton Bosch heat pump/propane furnace combo installed and it is much better at removing humidity over the previous furnace/ac combo. Quite superior for humidity.
