It was recording a program. In this case I could hear it up to about two feet away, beyond which I couldn't. I'll check again when I have a moment and it isn't recording, if it ever isn't recording. I do know that my previous Toshiba DVR would degrade the sound electronically (RFI?) of my TT when it was on, even it wasn't recording, but I haven't been able to do the same test on my Dish DVR yet. My Dish DVR sits in a Salamander cabinet with a mesh screen front door and no back. I'm sure the cabinet shields a fair amount of the sound, such as it is, and the unit just get mildly warm, not hot. FWIW, the performance can be stunning, and I can't detect any significant difference in picture or sound quality between HD programs I record and those I watch in real time. I wish I had a much bigger disc, as I'm starting to accumulate a number of movies that are not available in HD anywhere else.
