      Nah the noise is perfect to drown out every single noise in the hallway because the doors aren’t soundproof at all.

      They’re noisy because they are inefficient. But still more efficient than any ceiling fan

        They’re noisy because they are inefficient.

        It’s probably both noisy and inefficient if it’s made really cheap, but is that causation true?

        Not really comparable since ACs change the air temperature, while fans just move air.

        I don’t know how you measure efficiency but if you measure the amount of energy required for each degree of apparent temperature dropped then a fan is way way more efficient.
