How loud or quiet is this unit? I have had others but the last one I have is a little loud. It also uses condensed water to splash the coils and that adds noise as well. Will this system to that? null

Mine is typically load like any window unit. It is louder on cool and high fan. We don’t mind because we have it in th dining area and turn it on and off as we like. At night I leave it on cool and high and set at minimum temp 64 so it will cool the best. We use a fan to circulate the cool air through the house.
 The coil was under water when we first started using it and made extra racket but I took the drain plug out on the outside so it would drai and it stopped. I didn’t know that was to cool the coil!

Hi BLNM - Thanks for viewing GE! With few exceptions, sone or decibel ratings are not available for room air conditioners They are not all rated for sound performance. Models that are will show the rating in the specifications. 
With residential air conditioners, sound levels are actually more dependent on installation factors than on the sound produced by the unit. The installation variables can depend on (but is not limited to): *Location of the unit (ex. attic, etc.)  
*Type of unit (wall or window mounted). *How it is mounted.  Also, all GE room air conditioners have a "slinger ring" around the rear fan blade. The ring is designed to pick water up off the bottom of the pan and throw it against the condenser coils. This design feature helps improve the efficiency of the unit by reducing heat on the coils, and helps remove moisture from the pan. It is normal to hear a pinging or sloshing sound as the fan blade moves through the water. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
