I was looking for something to fit inside the TV niche in our bedroom when we removed the TV. This fountain is perfect for the space and the curved shape not only hides the electric and cable outlets, the LED light provides a softly glowing night light. I placed decorative rocks (agates) in the "pool" over the LED light create more splashing waterfall sound. The pump makes a muffled hum, but otherwise, it's a very quiet fountain.
