Can I complain about the noise of the air conditioner outside the unit that affects the rest?
With the arrival of summer, the frequency of use of air conditioners has gradually increased, but with it comes some complaints about the noise of air conditioners outside the unit. Some residents reported that the noise generated by the outdoor unit of the air conditioner was too loud, which seriously affected their rest and quality of life. So, can we complain about this situation?
First of all, we need to be clear about whether the noise of the air conditioner exceeds the specified standard. According to the relevant national regulations, the noise of the air conditioner shall not exceed 50 decibels. If the actual measurement results exceed this standard, then it can be considered that the noise is too loud and has affected the lives of residents.
In this case, residents can file a complaint with the property management company or the relevant department. When making a complaint, it is advisable to provide relevant evidence, such as noise measurement data, to prove that the noise is indeed exceeded. After receiving a complaint, the property management company or relevant department will conduct an investigation and coordinate to resolve the matter.
If the investigation results show that the noise exceeds the standard due to the non-standard installation of the air conditioner or the aging of the equipment, then the property management company or the relevant department will require the relevant responsible person to take measures to rectify the noise and reduce the noise. If the noise exceeds the standard due to the improper use of air conditioning by the neighbor, then the property management company or the relevant department will coordinate with both parties to communicate and solve the problem.
In addition to complaining to the property company or the relevant authorities, residents can also seek other avenues to resolve the issue. For example, try communicating with your neighbors to reduce the amount of time they spend using the air conditioner or adjust the way they use it to reduce the impact of noise on the surrounding residents. Alternatively, consider measures such as soundproofing equipment or installing soundproof windows to reduce the impact of noise.
In short, if the noise of the air conditioner is too loud and affects your rest and quality of life, you can complain to the property management company or relevant departments. When making a complaint, it is advisable to provide evidence to prove that the noise is exceeded. If the issue can't be resolved through a complaint, you can also consider other avenues to resolve the issue. At the same time, we should also raise our environmental awareness and minimize the time spent using energy-intensive equipment such as air conditioners to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment.
