Hello,
We are currently building and during our last site visit, we made our first negative observation: Our neighbor has an outdoor heat pump installation with the exhaust facing directly onto our property, partially affecting our terrace.
The distance between the heat pump outlet and our house wall is about 4 meters (13 feet). It is a Viessmann V 200. Now we have a constant humming noise that can also be heard on our balcony, which is about 6 meters (20 feet) away in a straight line.
Why would someone do this—poor planning or cheaper than an indoor installation?
Seriously, my question is: Are there any products that can help with this? I am thinking of a soundproof barrier, for example a 2-meter (6.5 feet) high wall running along the entire boundary (about 7 meters (23 feet)). What recommendations or experiences do you have?

We have exactly the same problem with a pool heat pump and are also considering building a soundproof wall. Did it help you in the end?
Best regards
