Yes,very quiet. In fact noise level is the main reason I opted for a mini-split over a window unit;Ive always been very noise sensitive I guess. fwiw I did the "hvac part" of the install ;they did the electrical and heavy work. I used a hair dryer to heat up the evap coils,a cheap vacuum pump, and used nylog blue on the flares and caps;on the other hand I used the traditional manifold gauges and pressure tested with a spritz of the 410a .I guess you might say I tried to make up for lack of funds with a bit of inventiveness. The thing is that contractors are asking $3-5 k for a basic installed unit so they made my diy decision a no-brainer.
