The units are very quiet. We have one inside unit in our bedroom at home, you really have to strain to hear the whisper fan noise. In order to hear an outside unit you have to be standing right next to it and listen carefully.

We have one 15K Btu standard unit at camp and two hyper heat units at home, one 12K and one 18K.

My estimate is that one 15K unit would add about $15/month in Sept and about $20 to $25/month in April and Oct. A/C in the summer may cost $10 to $20/month depending on use.

If you are looking for numbers on Mitsubishi mini splits, go to the following thread....you can search for "Mitsubishi system" and read the posts. Looks for the two I posted under "tummyman" and see my data. For the last two seasons, I have gone back to using oil since the cost of oil has dropped significantly and the cost of electricity over the winter has gone up dramatically. So I play the fuel game on cost of the commodity.
