I can remember back in the afternoon when I had a window air conditioner component in my dining room growing up.
This was before central heating and air conditioner systems were a thing in residential homes. I liked the way the window air conditioner idea cooled the room, but it was so noisy that I had trouble sleeping sometimes. And in those days, there was nothing you could do about that. It was either deal with the noise of the window air conditioner idea or suffer with no air conditioner system. It was rather warm in the summers where I grew up, so air conditioner was a must. There was simply no way around it unless you wanted to be in total discomfort… So what I used to do to try to combat the noise was wear ear plugs to sleep. But I could only do that on weekends when I did not have to wake up to an alarm clock for school. So you see, it was quite a hassle. I am so glad that today the two of us all have central heating and air conditioner systems available to us that are affordable to the average joe. Because I do not think I could deal with the noisy window air conditioner systems at this point in my life getting to be middle old heading towards outdated guy territory. I need sleep now more than when I was a kid, so window air conditioner systems and their noisy ways would simply just not labor for myself and others today!
