central air is never 100% silent. it still makes a sound as cold air is propelled from the vent. this was silent, with no real force behind the air. like the fog from a fog machine, it just filled the room with coldness in silence. |

Date: August 26th, 2026 10:30 PM Author: Razzle sooty double fault "central air is never 100% silent"
You're confused or just wrong. The only way to get a pretty silent A/C is central because the air pump and condenser can be placed far away from the living space. An in-wall/window system will always have the loud mechanical components right by the vent.
My A/C is on now and I don't hear it at all. |

|
Date: August 27th, 2026 5:24 PM Author: Alcoholic famous landscape painting tanning salon Not at all.
Minisplits are often quieter than central because they don't require ducting. Depending on the system and layout, the noise from air exchanger are apparent through the vents. The noise floor in a room can shoot way up. Everything has experienced talking to someone, the AC shutting off, and they suddenly realize they were speaking loudly to overcome the HVAC sound. |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 6:23 PM Author: Razzle sooty double fault I'm saying that minisplits (aka ductless AC systems) are a way to get central AC into a house that doesn't have ducts. I had a large system installed into a 19th century home I had that provided A/C through the entire house.
But my current central A/C is generally silent despite living in Florida. The reason is that it is almost always on but on a low setting. Modern central ACs aren't on or off - they have something like 5 power settings. Unless they're on a 4 or 5 you won't hear it. |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 6:39 PM Author: Alcoholic famous landscape painting tanning salon This is pedantic but a minisplit isn't central. That's what the split is. Instead of one central airhandler you have multiple heads.
You're not wrong that central air can be very quiet but you're wrong to say that other guy is wrong because it must be central. Modern minisplit heads can be insanely quiet, and the fact he said "ac in the room" makes me think minisplit, because central air all you see is the thermostat. |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 6:55 PM Author: Razzle sooty double fault Central ACs are also split (the air handler and condenser aren't together). The only real difference between traditional A/Cs and the ductless system is whether there are ducts or not. You can even have the air handlers integrated into the ceiling. With ducted systems you can centralize the air handlers too but that's largely irrelevant.
Ok, I'll put this semantic argument to rest and say it must be central or ductless and note that the only reason I didn't include ductless is that I consider ductless to be a form of central A/C. In any event, I suspect that DBG has no idea what we're talking about (and would label all of this "prole goy Mr. fixit stuff." |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 7:03 PM Author: Alcoholic famous landscape painting tanning salon You're right about what split refers to. I appreciate that you recognize this was prole goy mr fixit chitchat because I was anxious I'd come off as an "um ackshually..." semantic faggot.
Fuck I never recognize DBG, someone needs to make an extension to highlight his pumo. |

I have one in my house and it's amazing - it just keeps everything cool 24/7 at a constant temp. you don't have to touch the thing. A/Cs cycle so you'll have weird pockets of heat interjected with the frigid air |
|
Date: August 26th, 2026 10:47 PM Author: Razzle sooty double fault Since it was a hotel this is pretty easy to understand. They had a central AC with the cooling components most likely on the roof which is why you couldn't hear it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5896750&forum_id=2!#50095721) |

I've done it for a few hot summers and it sucks, but is doable.

I wonder if they've conducted any studies to see how much that's saved on infrastructure? Everyone automatically being routed to alternative routes reduces the need to expand major roads. Suddenly every road has a bunch of overflow values. |
