I have seen some that are enclosed with bi-fold doors or even a closet-like enclosure but still in the laundry area.

Your comments please? Thank you.
I have an Amarillo with the air exchange off of the kitchen. I was concerned about the noise but it isn't a factor. You can also build a cabinet enclosing the unit. I have a louvered door that I put a solid piece on the top of the louvered door to minimize any noise. Keep in mind that I would think the A/C would work harder if it is in a hot garage.
