I replaced a 18 year old FirstCo unit with a base model Lennox Merit and am not too terribly impressed with it from a compressor noise standpoint, the compressor unit sits right outside my bedroom window and the startup noise would wake me up from a dead sleep for the first month or so until I adapted to it. It is nice and quiet once running. I had them add a hard start kit the first routine service which helped a little bit, next service going to ask about a compressor blanket. Have not read the best things about getting replacement parts for Lennox either, seems the supply chain is not as good as it should be.
