Air conditioners, Pool Pumps, Machinery

With the reduction in size of the everage block and the consequent proximity of dwellings to each other it is imperative that property owners and installers locate air conditioners, pool pumps and other noisy machinery in the most suitable location.

In general, if noise from machinery can be heard inside a neighbouring dwelling after 10pm, the noise is unreasonable and will not comply with the assigned noise levels. 

The Installers Guide to Air Conditioner Noise provides information to Installers and residents regarding various factors that influence noise received by a neighbour. It is strongly recommended for consideration prior to the installation of an air conditioner, pool pump or other noisy equipment.
