In mini split system, the typical sources of noise is the condenser.
The compressor emits the highest sound pressure and the sound pressure increases over time due to the wearing off of the vibration pads that are used to mount the compressor to the metal casing.
Other factors include the wearing off of the in the compressor such as the motor, valve and other mechanical component..
Sometimes, the noise can come from the leaves and other material that block the fan blades from rotating properly.
The strength of the sound decrease with the distance from the source.
For most people, the sound frequencies from 1kHz to 4kHz are the easiest to hear..
Hence, the sound pressure using dBA scale for 93dB is the same as 87dB.
Take note that the higher the capacity, the higher the noise level..
