ACCEPTABLE DECIBEL LEVELS RESIDENTIAL PORTABLE

The larger industrial air conditioning units such as the Airrex HSC-2500 Portable Air Conditioner emit up to 68 decibels, and the larger industrial fans such as the Blue Max 950 can emit between 70 and 82 decibels depending upon the speed setting.

ACCEPTABLE DECIBEL LEVELS RESIDENTIAL TV

A TV emits 60 decibels, whilst the Airconco 3 Kw emits just 51 to 55 decibels of sound. The smallest air conditioning units will generally emit less noise than a TV. The Airconco 6.5 Kw Split Water Cooled Portable Air Conditioner similarly ranks at around 49 decibels. Even a larger tank fan, such as the 3076 Tank Fan, will emit the same level of decibels as an office desk fan, both ranking at around 46 decibels. The quietest fixed air conditioning, such as the Unico Star, will emit between 37 and 46 decibels, which is less than the average desk fan. Air conditioning units, fans and evaporative coolers will emit between 37 and 82 decibels, depending on the model. Whilst normal breathing can emit 10 decibels, normal talking will emit between 40 and 60 decibels, and a gunshot can emit up to 140 decibels. In an industrial or factory setting a loud noise from your air conditioning unit will not be so important. In an office or bedroom setting it will be vital that the sounds of the air conditioning unit do not overpower the sounds or relative quiet in the room.

On the decibel scale the smallest audible sound of near total silence is 0 dB, whilst a sound ten times more powerful is 10 dB, and a sound 100 times more powerful than near total silence is 20 dB.Дepending on where you intend to use your air conditioning unit, the decibel level emitted from the air conditioner can be incredibly important. The intensity of the noise emitted from air conditioning units is measured in decibels (вЂdBвЂ™). Whilst the efficiency of our air conditioning systems is still a primary concern, the noise level the air conditioner emits is also increasingly important. Please leave feedback in our comments section below and we promise to keep this fully updated!ДЄs air conditioning units have become more technologically advanced, our demands of our air conditioning have similarly increased. Those of you who wish for a more academic approach can scroll to the bottom to check out our initial research. Have some fun clicking around on our all-singing-and-dancing infographic below.

Also, based in London, we donвЂ™t live close enough to Cape Canaveral to run around waving our own decibel meterвЂ¦. Further investigation revealed that people forget to mention how far away they were when actually measuring the sounds. Indeed, most of our research showed that an aeroplane taking off is louder than a spaceship launch and surely this cannot be the case. We found so many different accounts of how loud the same sound was. However, we didnвЂ™t know where the вЂcut-offвЂ™ point should have been and we got somewhat carried away until we found the worlds loudest noise!Дespite all of our in-depth research, noise levels and decibels are still controversial and subjective. We initially wanted to create an amazingly informative infographic to best explain how loud our air conditioners are. So we started to delve into the dark world of decibels to make the blinking things easier to understand. Our initial attempt to explain how loud air conditioners are via an internet page was, in our opinion, a minor disaster.ДЄn indisputable fact is that 99.999% of us havenвЂ™t got a clue what a decibel either sounds like or looks like! LetвЂ™s be honest, we didnвЂ™t even know ourselves precisely what a decibel was!
