> maybe 70dB

Decidedly more than 70dB

Water rowers peak at nearly 80.

The Concept 2 clears 100dB

edit: apparently some water rowers are louder than others. The last in their video hit approx 90dB

Depends on where you measure from but yea, 70 might be low. You can talk over two dozen heavies pulling 2ks on air rowers which definitely places it under 100dB.
When you're looking for a rowing machine for your apartment, these numbers become much more important.

I ended up with a low-price water rower. I can watch TV while rowing and can still hear the TV at a mostly reasonable volume.
