Abstract
A system and method for controlling a sound level in a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system are disclosed. The system includes a refrigeration unit including a compressor, a condenser fan, a controller, and a sound controller. The sound controller is configured to maintain a sound level of the refrigeration unit within a sound level operating range. A method of controlling a refrigeration unit for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is described. The method includes determining, by a controller, a cooling requirement of a conditioned space. The controller also determines a sound level operating range for the refrigeration unit. The method further includes the controller applying a cooling setting based on the cooling requirement and the sound level operating range.
