I lived in a campsite with an old 9kw heat pump and I couldn’t tell if it was on from the other side of the garden (which was as long as the house). Anything that is mechanical and moves got a chance of making a noise but it doesn’t mean all of them do. We also had one inside the house for the hot water and when that was new I had to open the door to the utilities room to even know it was on.
maybe i got lucky to somehow hear them over my tinnitus. and no, if you live around them long enough, its not just a fan spinning (which will get noisy over time when they get manky and imbalanced, which in turn causes secondary vibrations). personally, i prefer air to air heatpumps i had when i lived in nz. not the noisy bastards i put up with in sweden.
that said, despite my hearing loss and tinnitus, i can pick up on annoying sounds nobody notices until i point them out.

All you can hear is a fan spinning.

I’ve only experiences the air to air heatpumps in aus and nz. I though sweden used the same?
Maybe, but i never came across them.
