We're getting some heatpumps installed later this week, and planned to have a couple of the outdoor units mounted to the walls due to lack of space.

I suddenly came to the thought of "would they be too loud from inside the house with their humming", and was wondering if anyones had any experience?

We are getting the Mitsubishi AP series, and the house is 200mm Masonry block on the downstairs, and Brick Veneer on the upstairs (Not too sure which of the two they will be mounted to).

We’ve got heatpumps mounted outside the timber frames. Not physically attached to the walls though. In our bedroom, the most obvious for noise intrusion, we do not hear the the outside compressor.

The fact your masonry is solid should mean little or no external noise.
