Important note / update:
The insights are based on manufacturer listed decibel ratings.
The quietest air conditioner is now 39.5 dB (the model remains the same). Since data collation, Danby have updated the decibel rating (of model no. DAC080B6IWDB-6) from 33 dB to 39.5 dB. It still remains in the top position, but it has now been discontinued.
However, they may not take 2nd position. I’ve asked for clarification, but in the meantime please note that there’s conflicting information on their website about their 36 dB unit (model no. DAC100B6IWDB-6). They continue to list it at 36 dB, but now also note “Danby window air conditioners have a sound rating from 39.5 decibels to 61 decibels.” They also list the unit at 41.5 dB.
I’d assume 41.5 dB is accurate, which would now make it the 5th quietest AC.
I’m awaiting confirmation before updating the links below and write up.
