Is it too noisy for my Hermann's?

Hi, I resonantly got a Hermann's tortoise and had some questions about sound. From what I've read tortoises are sensitive to low frequency sounds. He is in a room with a fish tank that has a filter and bubbler, is that going to bother him? The washing machine is on the floor above and you can hear/sometimes feel it in his room, is that bad for him? I also like to listen to music nothing to loud but connected to a speaker, do I need to be careful about the volume around him?

I highly doubt the noise or vibration will be a problem. The only way to know for sure is to try it. If they hide excessively or the appetite drops significantly, you'll know to try something else.

My wife’s band plays their devil music in the basement, and I have some nice tower speakers and home theatre in their room to watch movies and pray.
Appetite is still good! On the flip side they seem responsive to voices when I talk to them.
