It can be as noisy as necessary as long as it's far away. Video is no problem either. I use a pair of A/V over CAT5 baluns to transfer the video and audio signals to my cable cabinet where an injector merges the signal with the rest of my TV cable channels. I have total silence in my listening/watching places.
