I ->think he's talking about the sort which doesn't use ductwork.
The compressor is outside, the condenser/fan is inside, looking like a
truncated conventional window AC unit, but these are usually intended to
cool a single room, while the OP is talking about cooling a (small)
house.

That's a ductless split...

Didn't you ask this before? Contact Stumpy; he is up there and it will be soooo
quiet because it will never run.

GE makes very quiet stuff. I had one of those heat pump under window unit in a
room
in Vegas. You could NOT hear the compressor come on.
My Goodman 2.5 ton works like a charm on my 1K sq. foot house with basement.
The variable speed blower fan is a MUST. My compressor is quiet but they also
make a quieter one
with more insulation around the compressor.

When an AC runs it cools and dehumidifys, VSDC motors that can be set
at very low speed dehumidify 50% more than regular AC with AC motors
at the lowest speed, Carrier , Bryant and maybe Lennox offer this
option, but get the 10 yr warranty. To dehumidify most you need a load
calculation done and you dont want to oversize the AC, oversize it and
it runs and cools but wont run long enough to remove humidity, its
common for lazy installers to oversize units as they make more money
and never have a complaint that customers are not cool, but they are
left humid. Best is an AC that runs 100% on the hottest day. Maybe 2
speed condensors will do even better. Space Pack removes moisture
first and more than regular AC except for maybe VSDC motors. You can
also run a small dehumidifier all the time as they produse heat which
the AC can offset for continual low humidity. I think some VSDC units
you can get a humidistat control, Look at Carrier , Lennoxs best and
space pack, but if you have ductwork now forget spacepack
