I had a couple of really old Carriers once upon a time. They were real howlers. Even today I think those things make a ice pick in my ears now and then from those days and I am a deaf man.
Ive been spoiled in later years with non Carrier reefers believe it or not they have gotten really good.

On the other hand, the voices of people in a movie playing in the truck next to me will keep me up for a while. I have a hard time sleeping when I hear people talking. -
My carrier apu was so loud I wore ear plugs at night. Usually drowned out the reefer next to me but not always. I can't believe how quiet some of them are now. I've pulled tanks for 9 years and took a break. Looking at a few reefer companies near me in NE FL. I'll stop here, don't want to hijack post. Glady take any advice in a pm.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
TKs have been getting less noisy in my opinion. Still will not make up for the broken covers and exhaust rattles.25(2)+2 and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
Tk has more engine sound to me. And it just eases me to sleep.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
Thermo king reefer units have radiators on side of units. Carriers are front of unit. Im sure they both have their advantages, but seems to me with companies closing the gap behind the sleeper for mpg the Thermo king drawing air from side be better choice.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
I dont think my 1 yr old 7500 is any noiser than my 210+ was. The older carriers were the real noise makers. Never had any trouble sleeping next to any of them though
bzinger Thanks this.
