Understanding Air Conditioner Noise Limits in Victoria

 By Climate Green – Your Accredited Aircon Specialists

Living in Victoria means respecting quiet neighbourhoods—and that includes the sound of your air conditioner. Under the Environment Protection Act 2017, aircon units must operate within strict noise limits to maintain peace and comfort.

🏛️ What the Regulations Say

The EPA Victoria requires that air conditioner noise must not exceed the ambient background noise level by more than 5 decibels at a neighbour’s home. For instance, if the background noise reads 40 dB inside the neighbouring property, your air conditioner should not surpass 45 dB from that point.

🛎️ Is Your Aircon Too Loud? Look for These Signs

  • Conversations become harder when your aircon is running

  • You need to crank up the TV or music to hear

  • Floors or walls begin to vibrate

  • You receive complaints from neighbours

  • The unit sounds noticeably louder than usual

✅ Quick fix: Use a decibel app or call Climate Green for a professional noise check.



🔉 The Quietest Air Conditioning Models

Today’s split systems and variable-speed central units can operate at whisper-level volumes—around 20–30 dB. In contrast, older or window units can reach 60 dB or more, risking non-compliance.

Climate Green installs only low-noise, EPA-approved units built for comfort and silence.

🧰 How to Keep Your AC Noise-Compliment

  • Book a professional, properly levelled installation

  • Clean or replace filters regularly

  • Tighten loose panels or screws

  • Add vibration-dampening pads

  • Install a noise shield if needed

  • Schedule maintenance with Climate Green to stay compliant
