Yes, genuinely — inverter models in our catalogue average 31-32dB, while the non-inverter option averages 34.3dB. That gap is real and audible, on top of everything else inverter already wins on.
📐 Calculated estimate
Based on real BEE-certified data — see the exact numbers below.
The reason ties back to how each technology actually runs: an inverter compressor holds a steady, low speed most of the time, while a non-inverter compressor is either off or running at full power — and full power is where most of the noise comes from. Since a non-inverter AC spends more of its operating time at that full-power state, it's noisier on average, not just occasionally.
