Quiet Window AC??

westminster
12 years ago

Can anyone recommend a small window unit AC (5000-10,000 BTU) that is really quiet? In particular, I'm looking for something that is quiet from the outside, as we can hear this AC from our bedroom window and also from our back porch. I've read that Panasonics, Sharps and Friedrich's are pretty quiet -- does anyone have any experience with a specific model that is quiet from the outside? Thanks in advance!
