Ambient noise in the area where the compressor is situated measures at approximately 40. The compressor unit measures approximately 50 to 52 and Risinger's voice measures at 60 to 65 and, no, he's not yelling.Risinger takes us to the home's interior where two air conditioning units are installed," one on each floor of the home.
