Ecotech Marine MP40w ES operating noise

Aquarium Illusions also has one in their display tank.

In person at a house is probably best thing though for comparison... because stores are umpteen times louder than homes even without people in them.

I have 2 mp40s they are both loud and they cause interference with my tv that is in a different room. But I'm really glad I added them to my tank.

I have 2 MP40's and can agree with Doug/Fishytime... they have a little noise, especially if you use pulse modes, but on Reefcrest or Lagoon, silent.

The noise is the winding up and down, but not that bad. Compared to others and the features and power they offer, nothing can compare. I do recommend them.

Only with a CRT tube tv. The magnets can pull the electrons that are being fired in the tv. But only if it's close enough.

It's an LCD tv. Does'nt do this on my main TV just the TVs in the bedrooms. Bell Xpressvu receiver. Once again, I know it's the MP40s 'cause when the power is turned off to them the lines disapear. I've contacted Ecotech and they say that it's not due to their product. I'm used to it now and it does'nt bother me. Just letting others know.

Oh ok. Well ive seen this before with older treadmills. The magnets causing to much electro magnetic interference. It's most likely because you have a coax cable splice or split near the mp40.(in the wall or on the outside of the wall since its satillite

I have a tube TV literally 6-8" from one of my MP10's and see no effect. Mind you its just a gaming console attached to it, no coax cable present.
