My bed is near the wall and when i put my ear on the wall i hear the sound created by the slightly vibrating or normal operation of the unit.
Attic ac unit vibration.
So if you hear unusual sounds coming from your air conditioner during normal operation don t ignore them as this could be a sign that the unit needs a repair or upgrade.
I noticed a sound and it took some time to locate it.
I have a central air and gas heat unit in the attic no crawl space just a slab.
Climb up using a ladder and find the ac on the roof.
Measure and make a note of the width and length of the base of ac.
Assuming this vibration noise occurs only when the a c is running which should be real easy to check out and you cannot find loose mounting bolts or loose metal ducting thgat is vibrating then you should not quit using the unit and call a heating and a c tech to check it out.
Here are some simple troubleshooting steps to fix vibration pads for removing vibration noise from air conditioning units that are roof mounted.
My old 28 years old unit made half the noise and had no vibration.
Bryant has changed the unit and this second unit is just as nosier.
Buy four vibration pads one for each corner of the unit.
The ground around the outside unit actually shakes.
The central air conditioner is by far the nosiest i have ever heard.
Switch off the power supply.
The vibration can be heard inside and outside.
