*Warning, a silly question*
I have no knowledge of heating technology, but there is one thing that is important to me: the heating system must not produce any disturbing noises (and I am easily disturbed, for example by humming, buzzing, or similar sounds). It would not be installed in the basement, but on the living floor.
Are there types of heating systems that tend to be problematic in this regard?

It also depends on your personal noise tolerance and what you can handle.

Sebastian7930 Apr 2016 10:37You do, but what exactly are you trying to say? A brine heat pump is also a heat pump with a (noisy) compressor, sand-lime bricks are fine, decoupling is absolutely important (and often neglected), and we have already discussed the topic of sound insulation – it is just more challenging when combined with ventilation.
And I only wrote something about the latter topic...

Our heat pump is located on the ground floor in the utility room. It hums at about 42 dB. A standard door panel helps a lot but doesn’t completely block the sound – you can still hear a faint hum (not throughout the whole house, but in the rooms adjacent to the hallway connected to the utility room with the door closed). We are considering what might be done – maybe a solid core door would be enough. It’s not that bad though; otherwise, we would have already done something about it 😀
The new, good built-in refrigerator in the open kitchen operates at a similar noise level (for comparison). The dishwasher is a bit louder.

@BeHaElJa:
But since you keep asking about it, it seems to bother you a bit 😉. We have the same heat pump, and I would not want it on the ground floor. That’s also because our utility room on the ground floor is separated from the kitchen on one side only by cabinets.
