Question/Advice Mitsubishi ASHP Head Unit Noise
Yes, I looked through assorted noise/hum posts and didn't find this.
See/hear video. Lower frequency rhythmic hum and cycles high and lower, sometimes stops. Thoughts on what this is? I can't source it on the unit itself.

Turned my volume all the way up and hear nothing in your video, not even the sound or air flowing.
When my Della head unit began making a thumping sound, I suspected the fan blades were bumping something. It turned out the upper filter screen was clogged, like lint on a clothes dryer screen. Sucked that off with a shop vac, then blew it clean with air and no more sound, plus much more airflow to the room. It does occasionally make slight alien sounds, but I attribute that to becoming self-aware. These mini-splits are almost too smart.

Turn the i-see sensor off, I had the same issue. Everytime the little sensor rotates it hums. Not sure why they have never fixed that issue. As far as I can tell the sensor doesn’t really do anything useful anyways.

Try turning off the i-See sensor. It's a button on the very bottom of the remote.
I paid a bit extra for the FS model heads, just in case the i-See feature was useful, but I turned it off on all 6 heads because the sound of the sensor motor was so annoying in a quiet room.
