Anyway - noise. It's not too bad. There is an audible hum, but this is amplified by the fact that it's in a wooden TV stand... great for bass, not so good for noise from the V+ or the DVD recorder! But it wasn't loud enough to keep me awake. I might yet do what has been suggested elsewhere, and get something to put under the feet... that should render it pretty much silent.
