Is it very noisy? I'm looking for a replacement that I can use and still hear the TV without turning the volume up, or at least not up much.

Check to see if your TV supports wireless headphones. It might be a cheaper solution. NOTE: Other exercise machines may have the same noise level. This machine is about the same as others on the market. Go to a couple of different gyms and try them out, before you buy a replacement. Usually each gym has a week trial period "no charge".

The sound does not go extremely loud. You didn't do anything wrong installing it. I think that is the loudest that this model TV can go. I tried raising the sound with the cable system but that didn't do anything either. I think that it is at a comfortable setting but if you have a loud appliance you might have trouble hearing it over the noise. Quite happy with the tv.

I stongly recommend a sound bar. The sound from the TV is quite inferior. It made a huge difference for me. I bought both TV and the sound bar here.

YES, no problem. I like this TV, except I have to crank the volume to 100% most of the time as I am a bit hard of hearing. I guess TV Ears will be next.Bill

It isnt extremely noisy but after a lot of use it starts to get louder. I wouldn't use it at the office because it gives off a whirling sound that some people find annoying. I like to use it at home when I'm watching tv where the only people around who I can bother are my roommates. Try it out though and see if anyone has a problem with it.

Speakers are terrible, tinny sounding and not loud. Sound seems to come out the bottom of TV. I plugged a small pair of computer speakers into the headphone jack and they sound good. I just have to manually turn them off (they have an on/off switch on them) when I turn off tv.

If you're in the same room, when the compressor kicks in, you'll need to increase the volume on your TV. It's not horrible, but it's not quiet either. Worth it for the cool it delivers.

it was pretty loud. Yet I was not using it for the living room I was using it for the bedroom. If your living room large it might not be loud enough. I think it is more for a bedroom or a smaller room.

The noise level is very good, mine is in the living room quite close to my TV and I only have to turn my volume level up a couple numbers to watch TV. I am very happy with my unit.

I haven't had that problem, ours goes quite loud. The issue I have is that sometimes when I turn the TV on, there is no sound until I increase the volume, then the sound comes on.

Its loud enough for me to sleep... but I'm not sure I'd label it as 'Very Loud'. We can watch tv with it on and only have to turn in up a couple more notches if that tells you anything.

On high it is probably around 45 - 50 decibels. Loud, but not as loud as other units I have been around. We typically run it at the middle setting unless it's a really hot and muggy day and it is tolerable. I don't need to turn the tv up.

It is no louder than the usual air conditioners. We can talk and hear the TV easily over it. The best feature on it is, there is a water drain. We have always had problem with the ones that have no drains, they tend to back up on us.

The noise is acceptable to me. We have a tv in our workout room and can easily listen to programs without adjusting the volume up significantly.

Mixed answers here about sound on the TV. I want something lightweight to listen to the TV while hubby sleeps. Can the TV volume be off while I listen to it thru headphones???
