When an HVAC system is working well, you likely won't hear it. Although your system outside may make some noise, it shouldn't be so loud that it's distracting from what's going on inside your home. If your Trane AC is getting more and more noisy, there is likely a problem. According to Trane, their quietest air conditioner is at a noise level of 55-77 DbA. You might need a Trane AC fix in order to quiet it down. Let's look at a few factors that could contribute to a noisy AC.

Age

The older a system is, the more likely it is to make strange noises. An aging unit will start to make buzzing noises and other sounds. If your system is nearing the end of its lifespan, you will want to talk with AC professionals in your area about the possibility of a new system install.

Loosening Parts

If your system isn't that old, then perhaps some parts have come loose. If you listen closely, you might be able to figure out the general area in which parts are loose. If you hear rattling or banging sounds that can usually mean loose parts. This isn't really an expensive problem, and a Trane AC fix can be done quickly and easily by calling in HVAC experts.

Debris

If a lot of dust or debris starts to build up in the AC, it may lead to weird noises. Small sticks or stones could cause rattling noises. This isn't unusual since your unit is outside. If it sounds like your system is straining, there could be a build-up of dust.

This will cause the machine to work harder than necessary. This is not good because if your system is working too hard, then you are using a lot more energy than necessary and that means higher electric bills. An HVAC professional will be able to inspect your system and clean it properly to solve these issues.

Refrigerant Leaks

When there is a refrigerant leak, the AC will make a whistling sound. You might also see condensation on the AC. You should turn the unit off until a professional can come to inspect it and perform a Trane AC fix.
