Are Dehumidifiers Loud? Here’s My Take
In my quest to combat humidity at home, I’ve often wondered if dehumidifiers are too noisy. Here’s what I found.
Dehumidifier noise levels range from 37dBA (quiet like a library) to 55dBA (comparable to moderate traffic), depending on the model and capacity. Larger units may sound like an air conditioner, while smaller ones are as soft as a whisper. Always check the decibel rating before purchase.
Comparative Noise Levels of Dehumidifiers
Model Type | Noise Level (dBA) | Comparable Sound |
---|---|---|
Small Residential Model | 37 – 42 | Quiet library |
Medium Residential Model | 43 – 48 | Office environment |
Large Residential Model | 49 – 55 | Moderate traffic |
Industrial Model | 56 – 60 | Air conditioner at close range |
