The noise from the fan does mean having the TV volume very high, so I try to do it when the wife and girls are out. The new house will have an extended rear section to the garage, so thinking I'll start rowing there once we move in. And, from the prices these go for on Ebay, it doesn't look like you lose much on resale (evidence again of the indestructibility).
I've never tried a water rower, so can't compare.
