Is it properly mounted? If you have it mounted on brackets, ensure that there are neoprene standoffs between the unit and the bracket. This helps reduce the vibrations to a larger extent.

If it is simply mounted on top of a flat surface, keep some isoprene padding between the unit and the surface.

Did the service guy check the compressor before saying so ?

If yes, then you might need to displace the compressor away from where you sleep.

If no, ask him to come & check.

My home's AC compressor (Voltas, 1.5 ton) makes a good amount of noise but since it is mounted on the rooftop, we don't get disturbed by it.

cant displace the compressor to rooftop bcoz the copper pipe wud have to take a u-turn and it wud become very long.

As my Carrier AC Installation/Service guy told, the outdoor unit can be stretch 15-30 feet from inside unit.

ODUs typically make sound because of loose or damaged mounting hardware. There are few possible points of failure. The ODU mount on stands, the compressor mount inside the chassis, and the fan. Sometimes even a misaligned or broken/damaged fan can make a lot of noise. My suggestion would be to get the unit inspected and serviced/repaired as required.
