I lived in a building with heat pumps in Europe. In colder climate, they're loud. As in, LOUD. It's likely fine when you can install the external module somewhere on the roof (poor birds though), but in many apartment buildings you can only put it on the outer walls, and you can clearly hear the sound inside the flat. Internal modules that cycle air are also noisy, though less.
I'm glad to pay the premium for silent heating.

- maccard 3y agoI'd hardly classify my gas boiler as silent.
- 8note 3y agoAmericans already have heat pumps installed "air conditioning units" Burning stuff is also loud, but resistive heating is mostly quiet other than fan noise and metal containers creaking as they heat up/cool down
