I agree with ozthepoz. If you can hear it at a 3 meter distance it is probably too loud, whether you're sensitive to it or not. I myself can really only hear it when my ears are very near to the Devialet and the units do differ one to another. My plasma TV is a lot "louder", that I can hear at a 3m distance especially in bright scenes. I do have to say that the "ambiance noise" in my room seems to be ca. 36dB at minimum, so if one has a very quiet home it could be you'd hear it sooner.
