Works good but loud

I've used it for 2 months and it's worked great to cool my 150 sq ft bedroom. Without the ac it would get over 35 Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) in the summer and with the ac I can keep it in the low 20's C. (F 70's). I bought a 10 ft circular duct insulation to cover the out going tube from Home Depot because I read it can get hot and a source of heat. I was concerned for the water that I had read it would produce but so far no water. It is loud and to compensate I wear ear plugs when I sleep. Wish there was a lower fan setting as it seems to be high or higher. A lower fan setting might decrease the sound. I've owned other window ac's and the noise seems similarly loud.
Don't recommend getting this AC, no noises at first but now started having a belt noise to it... it's loud and annoying. Have to purchase another AC.. SMH.
I just got it yesterday, setting it up was easy, many improvements to old versions, even not having to drain it as the a/c mode evaporates and vents the water vapor through the large hose. Fairly quiet, but it was bigger than I expected, but it glides easily on the wheels. Good machine cools the room quickly with the door closed.
