I also can hear my neighbors house when air con on, can hear the sound. Worse is it goes on for like 15 mins, then off for 5, then on again for whole night keep repeat this process. Damn bising..and shake like crazy one the sound
Anyway I find the old national and York so far quite quiet...and durable compared to Panasonic. My friend installed 2 Panasonic, just 1 month one of them not cold anymore and already ask service guy to come twice. Also still not cold..
Normally if not cold, potential of leak, piping issue as well, can lead to the issue.
Over the year of buying so many air-cond, I find that installation may be as important as well.
I had several times, come across wrongly installed air-con, in term of position of the compressor that is improper,
the blower unit doesn't proper align/tilt causing clogged in water draining issue,
and sadly to say nowadays, it is very common mistake.
I had bought 5 Panasonic over the this few years time, I find little issue in general, one 1.5hp one, due to improper position, blower clogged with water almost 2-3 months once, and compressor is damn dirty due to location wise issue.
Another has some shaking sound whenever start, after few months using, when cleaning time, only found the screw mounting is not properly screwed by the installer!
