How loud and clear is the speaker; let's say compared to an average tv?

Well, I have a bit of a hedged answer for that, and it depends on what you consider to be an average TV.For most TVs I have owned, the built-in TV speakers were slightly clearer than the foxLv2, but the foxLv2 seems to have a higher maximum volume than those built-in TV speakers.Comparing to my Sony Bravia XBR 32" (admittedly not that new), I would say the built-in speakers are a little warmer than the foxLv2, but both the built-in speakers and foxLv2 produce a lot of rattle with certain types of sounds. I am currently bypassing the TV's speakers and running into external speakers to address this problem on my TV.

Sound quality is quite good but the loudness is not huge. It's really more of a headphone replacement than a loud speaker. Great lightweight gear for listening to serious music from 3 or 4 feet away.

as i said in my review, i was surprised how it works in an average volume, the base & voice clarity works great, the sounds in average volume can fill my room size 4m x 5m approximately.

The speaker is extremely clear as long as you don't put the volume to the max....then it starts to distort. It's nowhere as loud as a TV though. I bring it outside for large dinner parties and it's loud enough for the crowd but I definately wouldn't compare it to a TV.

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.

It is not real loud. I can adjust the volume, treble and bass to the max and I can watch video comfortably off my computer in a small living room. You will not get complaints from the neighbors becasue of loud music.

Not sure. Didn't care. Never seen a TV below 32" that had speakers worth a crap and anything above that size they are only half worth a crap. I'll say that you can certainly hear it and it has 3 sound modes. Custom movie and standard. I use custom. It has a headphone out jack and when I am really watching something I plug in some cheap computer speakers and it sounds fantastic and the volume controls with the remote. Can't ask for much more. But I don't think you will really hear it well in a noisy environment. Just opt for external speakers or sound bar plugged into the headphone stereo out jack. Not sure. Didn't care.

Its not loud at all - I have it in my living room where my TV is as well and it barely makes more than a bit of a very light hum when it's running (I use the auto setting so it kicks on periodically when it needs to and usually in a low mode although once in a while higher). I can barely just hear it when there is nothing on like a tv or radio and sometimes miss it all together if I am focused on what I am doing. Can't hear it at all with the TV on.

I think the sound is really solid for built-in tv speakers, especially with dialogue clarity turned on. I'd still recommend getting a sound bar and sub for the best results, but its not at all necessary

the sound quality is wonderful. It is very clear. The sound is very clear. I don't have to turn it up as loud as my old tv. I love it!

The Sony is loud enough. There is a button on the side that allows me to change the tone, only 3 settings. Clear enough sound. Google videos on u-tube to see why I bought the Sony.

I wouldn't recommend it for music if you want loud, but I haven't had any issues with movies or TV. I have mine in in our living room and it's perfect. I have a Definitive 5 speaker system in my basement for when I want to really get immersed in a movie though.

I didn't find it that bad....but I just move it around a lot. We have it attached to a hinge that hangs down from under the cabinet, so it's suspended and moves around easily on the hinge. We love it. The audio was a bit poor, but I changed the audio options under "menu", like the bass level, and now it sounds pretty good. This is not a huge TV with great speakers....this is a tiny TV for watching while doing dishes, working in the garage, etc. You can always plug in a boom box to this tv for better/louder sound.

I don't think it's loud at all. I can barely hear it with the tv or radio on.

The sound is fine for watching TV programs, but when I pop a concert DVD in I really miss my old system with the subwoofer and the stereo speakers. So I guess my answer is it depends on what you like to watch. But the volume is fine, it's just for music I'm thinking of upgrading here.

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.

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.

There are small, somewhat inadequate speakers that are built into the unit. The sound is not bad but not great either. This little machine is strictly for a small party at home or for the kids. If you connect it to the TV, some of the sound comes through the TV speakers. The screen is so small it's best to use it with the TV.

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.

It sounds clear and the volume is average at best. If you are hearing impaired, you should look elsewhere. Hope that helps.
