Not noisy at all. It's very quiet and it does not get hot at all. But it is not in an enclosed space. I recently bought another one.

I have the 7500 behind a cabinet door, but I can say that it does run cool to the touch and seems quiet. One would expect it to run with low voltage circuits with low power out conditions, so cool and quiet.

Mine is not noisy nor does it run hot, but I always turn mine off when I'm not using it. I really like my picture quality and don't mind recommending it to anyone. I have a smart tv but I prefer using the 7500 for streaming video. To me, its a much better picture

The only sounds you'll ever hear is a low click/ping when it comes back on or turns back off after it reaches the temperature you've set. And when it drops below the set temperature. But it's very low you'll hardly noticed it... Some people have said they've heard that sound besides then, but I haven't heard that. Only the two times I mentioned above. Trust me, you will not be disappointed with your purchase. For how fast it'll heat up the space, and of course how long you'll have it. I've had mine for 7 or 8 years, and it's still performs like day one. Hopefully this helps you determine to buy it. I'm not gonna say not buy, because you really should. I'm just saying...

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 depends on people using it. It is quite enough for me. You can lower the noise by setting the heat under "Hi"

Not noisy at all. I watch tv, YouTube videos and music on my computer while I am riding my bike. It's more quiet than my AC.

It does make some noise when running but is much quieter than previous units I have owned. I would estimate between 40 and 60 decibels when operating

I have not noticed it being noisy but I use it for football and baseball games.

It is not that noisy. I've never had a complaint. Audio feedback: yes, too loud: no.

My experience is that it will play adequately. I use it all the time. But I do believe the Fuse is not charging at the same time, and it will run down. MY Fuse does not 'dock' properly into the little shelf, but I was told I could plug my mp3 into speaker with a very short cord that I think came with it. Can't remember, but I bring the cord underneath and the player lays on its side in that little front tray. Works ok.

It is fairly loud. Also I should mention that the cooling capability is disappointing.

Dave, thank you very much for your answer. We've only had the player a few days and the beep was beginning to gnaw on our ears. Regards

It is LOUD. A bit unflexible as it will be where your electric jack is, unless you use an extension cord. And have some latency but for movies you can delay the video to fix it.

Its pretty quite if you adjust the fan curve currently, If you keep the default fan curve its fairly loud, but it depends on how demanding the game is.

During normal non-gaming use, I barely know it is on. When I play a simple online game (Runescape) it really revs up and gets quite loud for me. Sometimes I would rather not play then to have the noise. But then again, I've been told my ears are quite sensitive.

It is plenty loud but I don't believe it will charge your player/phone. As a speaker it kills the competition.

The sound is normal. The unit has higher power use and needs a fan to cool the unit.

It is fairly loud on high. I use it in a workout room and have to turn up the TV volume. However, I rarely use it on high since it pushes a lot of air. The sound level on medium and low is not unreasonable.
