Record High Noise Measurement Recorded in Indonesian Cities

Noise is defined as the physical vibration produced by sound waves of varying intensity and frequency, operating in a disorganized manner and spreading within an elastic medium. The decibel (dB) serves as the fundamental unit of measurement for noise.

Sound intensity ranging from 90 to 140 decibels can have an impact on one’s hearing. Extensive research conducted by scientists has led to the establishment of 100 decibels as the maximum limit for a safe sound intensity level.

Noise directly affects sleep

Numerous studies have indisputably demonstrated that noise levels at or above 35 decibels are sufficient to disturb normal sleep patterns. If the persistent noise emitted by your air conditioning system continues to interfere with your sleep on a regular basis, it is imperative to promptly address this issue to safeguard the well-being of all individuals involved.

Identifying & Resolving Sound Issues from Air Conditioners

Old air conditioners can often emit noise if they are not properly maintained. However, it is important to note that there are other potential causes for this issue as well.

COVID-19 Spread in Office Linked to Improper Air Conditioner Installation

The wall where the air conditioner is installed may be too thin or not flat, which can cause noise during operation. To address this issue, you can place an additional pad behind the air conditioner to help reduce noise.

Do not place the outdoor and indoor units too close together

It is crucial to avoid installing both the outdoor and indoor units of the air conditioner facing each other directly on a wall. This improper installation can result in sound resonance, intensifying the noise and making it more bothersome.

Air Conditioner Fan Not Functioning Properly

If your air conditioner is making excessive noise during operation, it is highly probable that there is an issue with the cooling fan in the outdoor unit. This could be due to the fan being broken or stuck, resulting in an imbalance and hindered rotation. Consequently, the air conditioner will produce noises.

Check the indoor unit fan

Consequences of Neglecting Air Conditioner Cleaning

With the accumulation of dust on both the filter and heat exchanger, air circulation is hindered, resulting in congestion. Consequently, the unit will vibrate and produce increased noise while in operation.

Dirty filter

Inspect Loose Screws and Accessories on Air Conditioner

During the installation and maintenance processes, it is possible that certain screws may not be properly tightened or may even be installed in the incorrect position when compared to their original placement.

After prolonged use, the presence of loose screws can cause the casing to vibrate, resulting in noisy operation and potential collisions between the components of the air conditioner.

Ensuring Correct Installation and Adherence to Technical Guidelines Guarantees Optimal Performance of New Computer System

Installation Guidelines: Proper placement of the outdoor and indoor units is essential during the installation process. It is recommended to position them as far apart as possible to optimize the system’s performance. Generally, the maximum allowable length for an air conditioning system is around 15m, but this can vary depending on the specific model being used, with some models allowing for up to 30m.

Cleaning the Air Conditioner Filter on a Regular Basis

Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance of your air conditioner. It is recommended to clean the unit every 4 – 6 months while in use.

Regularly cleaning your air conditioner is essential for ensuring optimal performance and maintaining the health and cleanliness of your home. In addition to promoting smooth operation, this routine maintenance also allows you to check the tightness of screws and ensure a safe living environment for your family.
