It depends on the specific building and its systems. Some buildings have very quiet central heating or cooling systems, with noise levels barely audible or not noticeable at all. However, other buildings may have older or poorly maintained systems that can produce noise, such as humming, buzzing, rattling, or even loud banging sounds. The noise level can also vary depending on the location of the system, the type of system (e.g., forced-air, radiator, or ductless mini-split), and the materials used in construction. It's best to contact the building's management or previous occupants to inquire about the noise levels of the central heating or cooling systems in a specific building.
