Air Noise
Every home I've been in you don't hear the air conditioner when your inside the home. It might depend on if it's stick or stucco built, but I think they do a pretty good job in putting the unit in a good spot. If your on your lanie(sp) that's different. Sometimes you can hear them or your neighbors. I'd be a lot more concerned as to where your home is located, such as by a busy street or on a golf course. Sounds seem to travel a long way here on the south side off of Bailey trail, not a lot of big trees to help block the sound I guess.... And as for homes that back up to one another... OMG you can hear your neighbors as if they were sitting right next to you. All my friends that have homes like these want to move. They end up building as much of a tree fence to help. Having a wall as a fence in the back works very well for privacy and noise reduction. Hope this helps...
