This Whirlpool Q&A would seem to suggest the heater in’t too close. But what is the source of the noise? if it’s vibration, proximity to the window won’t make as much difference as which wall it’s attached to, and how.
It’s not vibration noise. Firstly when the system heats up water, it makes a loud noise. It keeps coming and going frequently, because people are using hot water, especially late night when most people are showering presumably. Secondly when it rains, rains hit the thin metal cover and make big noises. These noises transmit to my bedroom through the window, as walls are much better sound insulator than windows.
So moving it to the other side will solve both noise issues. But OC doesn’t want to do anything about it since it only affects my unit.
