I am a very light sleeper so I wasn’t gleeful when I noticed how noisy the heating and cooling system are in our new house.
For some reason, it seems a lot louder in the dining room than in any other room of the house.
I’m not sure if it genuinely is louder in the dining room or if it just seems that way because I notice it more when I’m trying to sleep. When I am going about my respected morning in the home office and home office, I don’t absolutely notice when the central heating or air turn on. When I am attempting to sleep, I will be half asleep and then jolt awake when the HVAC system turns on. My partner, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to notice all of the noise. There is even a rattling sound in the vents that I can’t hear, or doesn’t exist, during the morning. It is like that is all I can concentrate on and it keeps me from getting much sleep. I’ve tried ear plugs but they hurt my ears. The odd thing is that I can sleep on the couch and the HVAC noise doesn’t bother me. So, it absolutely must be louder only in the dining room. I want to call out an HVAC company to see what can be done but I doubt anything can be done short of replacing the entire system. I don’t want to do that. I absolutely wish I had noticed all of this noise before buying the house. But, on the other hand, the noisy heating and air is the only thing I don’t like about the house. I know I will just have to learn to live with it or find ear plugs that are comfortable.
