approximately 60dB. (ex: 60 dB: general conversation, 70 dB: telephone ring)
Operating Environment
Voice Recognition and the Turn TV On  voice command should be used within 13.1ft of the TV.

clarity and the ambient sound of the surrounding area. Ambient noise can cause Voice Recognition 
to malfunction. (Suitable Ambient Noise Level: Less than 40 dB, *40 dB - the sound at library or 
residential area in the daytime.) Visit the Samsung website for a list of standard voice commands.
The voice recognition rate varies depending on the volume/tone, pronunciation, and ambient 
environment (TV sound and ambient noise).
