I'm planning on replacing my water heater with a tankless. Its in a small cabin and the current propane fired tank is in a room next to the bedroom, but don't want to hear a 'jet engine' start up everytime someone washes their hands.

can anyone tell me how loud these things are?

I'm thinking I will go with a Rinnai propane model. don't need a lot of GPMs. cabin has only one bathroom and the kitchen. no washer/drier, or dishwasher.
