I want to heat our home with an air heat pump (Luftwärmepumpe). The model recommended by the energy consultant is supposed to have a noise level of 60 dB. It is to be installed in the sleep-living area. I cannot really imagine what 60 dB sounds like, but it seems relatively loud to me. I fear that the noise generated by the air heat pump will affect the quality of life, and I wonder how the neighbors will react to it. What do you think about 60 dB? What noise level does your air heat pump have?

Air heat pumps are often installed outside the living area - because of the noise. "Noise" is relative, so here are a few comparison values: 60db corresponds approximately to a radio at room volume or conversation at normal speaking volume; a vacuum cleaner is at 70db, a dishwasher at 42db. Physical impairment from noise begins at 40-45dB. I have not heard of installing a heat pump in the sleeping-living area; there are better installation options in the basement or the above-ground basement replacement room.

Okay, thanks, so I definitely don't want to live with constant noise pollution. I will confront the energy consultant, good that I followed up again!!
