Had one of these at a hotel in Utah. It was hot as balls outside, but damn did this thing keep it frosty inside. And yeah, its loud, but at least it drowned out my dads snoring.

at least it drowned out my dads snoring.
I love background noise. Drown out the road sound, people eating, snoring, get rid of it all. Bless the hums of modern industry
Road sounds are the worst. It completely surrounds you and there's no escaping it. And there's always those assholes with loud engines cranking their hogs.

I am in the Netherlands and lately AC's are getting more common. As someone with an appartement top floor flat roof, living room faced south the split AC installed this year is a blessing. Summers get hot nowadays.
Same in the pacific northwest. Had a heat pump put in this year thanks to an interest free loan from the city. Used to not hit triple digits here.
Dang, I need to get one installed. Just dont know who around Portland to trust. Had one estimate and it was like 20 grand for a 4 head install.
Our guy said splits are great for 2 or 3 units, any more a heat pump is more cost effective so that's what we went for. Went with a city recommend installer and they were awesome.
Aren't splits using a heat pump though? Or did you get central air installed? My place has no vents.

My college dorm has one of these. Literally heaven.
When the housing market crashes I'm gonna get a house with one of these

Was in a 'modern' hotel recently. Hardwood floors, fresh paint, and warm embedded light fixtures.
Went to look for a thermostat. Nope. One of these AC/heater units. It was all analog, twisty knobs, faded labels, easily from the 1970s. Two options: regular, and high.
It was fine, but pretty obvious the remo budget had run out.
They also made a crapton of noise. The hotels often didn’t change the filter, so you’d instantly get a stuffy nose when you walked in. They were always right under the curtain, so it would recirculate the air caught in the curtain and cycle off and on too much because the air temp fluctuated too much.
I spend a lot of time in hotels. It was always a mixed bag with these. If you got a good one it was almost an exception rather than the rule.
and may god help you if the unit is right next to the bed
The curtain thing was a major pain in the ass; same with the noise. I've mostly been lucky with decent ones I guess, but I've spent a ton of time in shitty hotels.

The noise makes me forget having Tinnitus.
the reason I sleep with 2 fans
I wish I would be the only one carrying this burden
Nope, had it for several years now. Just woke up with it in my left ear one day. It must have been an ear infection or something. The doctors I went to didn't seem to care or thought I was overreacting. Let's hope stem cell research can solve our problem for somebody someday. In any case, life goes on.
Life goes on as you say, but it worries me, I feel sorry for you. I hope you have a routine to cope it daggermoon and I would like to know how you manage.
I play loops of music in my head to cope. It is tiresome, feels like a fairground. I wish I could experience just one day without tinnitus.

The only issue is the older ones tend to be very loud especially when they turn on in the middle of the night.
especially when they turn on in the middle of the night.
That's a rookie move. Leave the fan on at full blast all night, and then you won't hear the difference when the AC kicks in, plus it's a free white-noise machine
Exactly what I do, I need a fan and white noise when I sleep. Plus it muffles my chainsaw snoring.
10000000000000% this
Yes, as I replied to Jikiya... Tinnitus.
This.

I wish this were still the case. The last time I saw one of these was a year or so ago and I was excited to freeze. Unfortunately, the room AC was through a different, more modern, device. They just left the classic to toy with my emotions.
