What is the noise level like? Is it easy to hear music/TV over the sound of the machine?

Yes, the wheel is magnetic and not a fan, so the noise is low. I row while watching TV without any problems.

The noise level is low. I watch TV while using it a lot. I usually only increase the TV volume by one level.

I have mine in the playroom and away from anywhere we sit to watch tv. Noise for me is not an issue.

Just set mine up. I do have a home theater system, so it isn't an issue with me. But I am also not impressed with the sound from the tv. You certainly should be able to hear it over other noise, even though it could be louder.

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.

I'll put it this way. I'm in the same room with it watching television, it's on low speed always, and it necessitates raising the volume of the TV at least 20%. You won't be screaming over it mind you but you will be competing with it. Expect that all other sounds need to be a little bit louder to be heard. It's not like a jet engine but it's louder than my air conditioner. That's for sure.

I have mine under the dining room table on carpet. I do not have to change TV volume. It is not loud,, but I can tell when someone has turned it on. It is more like white noise and depends on the current office noise level.

It is fairly loud... The tv could drown it out if it was turned up a bit. Totally worth it if you can cover up the noise.

It does make some noise but not real loud. I normally use it while watching TV and do not have to adjust the volume. Similar to a stationary bicycle. However you do have to lay down to use it so it may not be well suited to use it at work.

This machine is great! Much quieter than my dishwasher, or my range hood fan. We have an open concept kitchen/dining/living area, & hearing the TV is no problem.

The noise level is moderate and what would be expected for what the machine does. The noise has not been an issue for me.

Not very noisy. I have it in my living room and it doesn't bother me with the TV or anything. The only problem with it is my tv remote randomly turns it off. I would say it works great and you should buy it. Good luck!

You can certainly hear it and on high it is a bit noisy, but on 2 (not 3) it is very reasonably quiet. One could easily watch TV with it running in the room, or carry on a conversation without being bothered. If you are lying in bed and there is no other sound going on, yes you will hear it.

On low speed, the ac is pretty quiet. A little noisier on high, but it isn't loud enough to disturb while listening to music or watching television.

The audio is good. We use it primarily as a baby monitor so there is a sound machine always on when the baby is sleeping. Any noises can easily be heard above the sound machine. We have not hooked up a speaker to it so most of the conversation is one sided but very clear.

You can watch it with the television on but you'll have to turn off the feature that makes the unit volume raise to compensate for background sounds; otherwise, the machine will consider the TV background noise and it will try to drown it out. It's loud enough for a decent-sized room but the closer it is to you, the better it will work.

I haven't noticed any hum. The tv has been great. The only complaint I have is the speakers in the tv aren't the greatest but I use a sound bar. If your debating on getting this tv I would personally say do it. It was worth every penny to me.
