Does anyone know of a dehumidifier quiet enough for a bedroom?

My bedroom I would say is a medium size bedroom in a flat and after the window being open for about two hours the humidity is 52%. I have a trickle vent open in the room and even if I leave the window open a crack the humidity always goes back up to 70+% by 7am if I go to bed at 12 which I assume is from my breathing.

If I have high humidity in my room I can't breath out my nose when sleeping as my sinuses close meaning I can't sleep, and so this is a big problem that the humidity keeps rising when I am sleeping.

I have a 20 litre Netta dehumidifier with a sleep mode already which turns on when the humidity goes above 60% but it is too loud and wakes me up.

I have tried two salt dehumidifiers and they don't remove enough humidity to help this problem.

Having a dehumidifier that is quiet enough for when I sleep would be very helpful, does anyone have any experience in this?

Thank you to anyone that can help!

Split pack air conditioning would likely be fairly quiet. May not be possible to easily fit in a flat (Planning, Freeholder permissions, outside unit location/noise to neighbours etc.,.).

Otherwise all you can do is to read the specs of the in-room devices on sale and compare them to what you have currently.... If it's this one the maker doesn't specify a noise level emitted (which probably means it is higher than competitors who do?) and that makes spec comparisons nigh impossible.

https://www.aircondirect.co.uk/st/quiet-dehumidifiers has some ranging in the 37-42 dB area. Most people will hear a 3dB difference as a change in sound volume level, and +10dB is double the volume. 30dB is the sound level of a whisper.

ideally I need another vent in the room, would this be a lot to install in a wall? Is there a venting kit that can be added to a window?

I looked at some of the 37db ones, it's very difficult for me to know without hearing one properly whether I would find the noise annoying, I do seem to be quite sensitive to noise when sleeping. I was thinking of buying 10 of these and opening them all, if this can lower the humidity by 15% that would do the trick

Earplugs? Put the deh on another room and duct either its input or output to your bedroom? PIV fan elsewhere in the house? MVHR system if you're really keen

If you are going to use that approach, I think it would be cheaper to buy it in sacks.

Humidity is within normal range , so what’s the problem?

Open the window a bit more and use a fan to move air towards the window?
