Topic: porch light Posted: 06 Jul 2012 at 9:12am |
I will run mine over the weekend to see, but if it does it isn't loud enough for me to notice.

It's not really "thumping" it's just that one initial "THUMP". Each time when our compressor kicks on. After that it's normal AC noise. I figured and thought everyone's did it.

We haven't used our air much, but I don't recall any thump and I am a light sleeper. If mine was thumping I would have it checked out.

I wonder if the A/C "thump" is something (like the compressor) a little loose. I would be interested to hear if anyone with this issue ever had it checked out, or checked it out themselves.

That thump wakes me up about a dozen times a night. Leaving the fan on low helps offset it some and last time I discovered leaving the radio on helped me sleep through the thumps.

My AC does not thump either. My Wife and I like the white noise of the fan so we leave the fan running all the time and we don't even notice if the compressor cuts in unless we are listening for it.

I have change some of the interior lights to led, and I just bought everything off of ebay. I just did a search for led 1156 and there are tons of them listed for about $5 shipped.

When I was in AutoZone last week, I noticed they have started stocking a few LED bulbs - I think for around $17. I didn't really stop & look but, it seems as though they had some of the large metal base bulbs (1157????). No doubt, you've read the many posts on internet sources. Yep, that A/C sure was noisy.......and I wear 2 hearing aids!
