We replaced evap coolers due to the noise. When you run them, you leave windows cracked for air flow and efficiency. Insects find the cool damp air and do their best to find their way in, through small gaps etc., and eventually find my wife who made noise when they land on her. Contrary to what I had told people we met when she had laryngitis, I did not have her larynx removed, switched to heat pumps instead.
The other factor is that heat pumps and AC have become efficient enough to compete with evap coolers. If you oversize a bit, with multi-stage or inverters, you can achieve SEERs above 18.
