I’ve heard a Braille Me being used while in the room with the person who was actually using it and it’s not that noisy really but would bother me if I was sitting in a room where others were watching TV or listening to music as I don’t think I’d like to be in a room with someone using it while doing those things. Mind you I get irritated if my husband is using his phone and we’re watching TV so of course, horses for courses.
