Yeah, I spent $150 on a window AC unit last year just to put in the master bedroom. Anytime you can improve your ability to sleep for money, I say do it! Although had I bought the unit in May it would have cost me half as much. But paranoid me didn't want to ruin summer by buying an air conditioner in May type of thing.

Eventually you do get used to the noise. In fact I turned it on one night about 3 weeks ago when some dufus neighbour left his barking dog outside after midnight. The ambient noise from the Airconditioner helped to mask the noise.

(*note, had it been a cold evening and I felt the dog was in a bad situation I would have brought it into my house. But it was pretty warm and the dog was just left in the yard while someone when out for drinks or a booty call I suspect. By bringing the dob into my house I would have just brought the noise into my house and left a home owner wondering what happened to their dog. Come morning the dog wasn't out anymore.)
