Can a Dehumidifier be Noiseless? : You’ll be surprised to know

A dehumidifier can’t be totally noiseless. Movement of air happens inside a dehumidifier. The fan required for air movement is the main reason behind the noise, like an Air Cooler or Air Conditioner. The compressor in a dehumidifier also causes minor noise, like the low humming noise in a Refrigerator.

A friend of ours lives in a very quiet locality in South Mumbai by the sea. She is a teacher and conducts online classes throughout the day. She had a mini library in her home which had countless books!

Now living next to the sea and that too in a city like Mumbai where monsoons are severe, our friend happens to be facing a lot of humidity problems at her home.

• Her charming wooden furniture was getting swollen
• She was seeing black spots on her ceiling and walls
• Her bedroom had a strange musty smell
• She had a lovely painting in her living room that was slowly fading color and had a few white spots around the corners

She was most upset about her expensive books turning yellowish, the pages getting stuck therein and the text fading in some books due to humidity and moisture. She desperately needed the best high humidity dehumidifier!

When she met us, she requested a silent home dehumidifier, because she took online lectures all day and read a lot, she preferred having no distractions.

We told her that a dehumidifier can't be totally noiseless, but there can be moisture absorber dehumidifier for homes that make very less noise and are as good as silent.

Why does it make noise?

Being a teacher, she was keen to know why a dehumidifier makes noise in the first place?

Dehumidifiers depend on air movement within the machine to absorb moisture from the air. And this movement of air is bound to create noise - just like how it happens in Air Conditioners or Coolers.

And a fan is required for air movement, and it's the fan inside the dehumidifier that makes noise. Which is why, Origin Dehumidifier also comes with Fan Speed setting - high speed means high noise and low speed means low noise.

However, there has to be a choice made between speed and efficiency of the dehumidifier - high fan speed means high efficiency of the dehumidifier but also, high noise. And vice versa.

The compressor too can be a source of noise, but not as much as the fan. For example, a refrigerator will constantly make a low humming sound while it is switched on, which is hardly audible. The fan overshadows the compressor's noise.

Can a dehumidifier’s noise be reduced?

She then asked us if she could do something to reduce the noise of a home dehumidifier even further?

1. Size: A big dehumidifier will make more noise than a small one. But, a bigger unit needs to be on for a few hours when she is not working or when the area is vacant. Running a bigger unit only for a few hours instead of a small unit for almost all the time is a better option for less noise.
2. Speed: Keeping the fan speed of the dehumidifier low when required
3. Placement: Placing the dehumidifier on a wooden floor can amplify and increase its noise and vibration. Placing the machine on a rug while it's switched on can reduce the noise a little. Also, it can be placed a little away from the user. That way, the noise wouldn't be more of a problem.

She seemed really convinced, and we suggested her an Origin Dehumidifier, one of India's best dehumidifier brands!
