A:  Hi Anne. How quiet or how loud something is, is subjective.

A:  Hi Bruce. 'Freon' is the brand name for the refrigerants R-12, R-13B1, R-22, R-410A, R-502, and R-503 manufactured by The Chemours Company. On January 1, 2020 Freon was banned by The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) because it damaged the ozone layer. R-22 was used in nearly all cooling devices at the time of the ban, so it was eliminated with a step-by-step phase-out. This LG 8,000 BTU 115-Volt Window Air Conditioner LW8016ER with ENERGY STAR and Remote in White uses R-32 refrigerant which replaced R-22 because it has very low GWP compared to R-22...^Ivan

The LG 8,000 BTU 115-Volt Window Air Conditioner LW8016ER with ENERGY STAR and Remote in White is designed for installation in standard single-hung or double-hung windows with actual opening widths from 22" to 36".The upper and lower window sash must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening height of 13" from the bottom of the upper sash to the window stool. This product is a WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER and as such, a standard single-hung or double-hung window is required for proper installation. Non-window installations, including using sleeves, holes in walls, and other installations are not recommended...^Ivan

A:  I think not, usually wall air conditioners that can sell the sleeve as an option. Worth asking at the LG site if a framed opening no deeper than 7" does work.

A:  I'm sure you could.
