Steps to reduce noise:

Check leveling: Ensure the unit is on a stable, level surface. Adjust feet if provided.
Inspect condenser fan: Remove the rear panel and look for wires or debris contacting the fan blades. Tighten any loose fan screws.
Add vibration isolation: Place a rubber mat under the unit to dampen compressor vibration.
Check pump: If noise comes from the reservoir area, the circulation pump may be worn. Replace the pump if it grinds or squeals.
