Common Noises and Sounds for Air Conditioners
Normal Noises and Sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:
- Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a pinging or clicking sound. The water droplets help cool the condenser.
- Air movement from the fan.
- Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
- Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window construction.
- A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by the modern high-efficiency compressor cycling on and off.
- A sizzling, hissing or dripping noise could be caused by water dripping on to the defrost heater during the defrost cycle.
