The incline should make a normal humming noise. I agree with you that it shouldn't be so loud that it drowns out the television. Under the motorhood there is usually a set of calibration instructions. If not, I would call the manufacturer and ask to be run through calibration. That usually fixes the problem without having to replace the incline motor. Incline motors are super sensitive and 9 times out of 10 just need to be reset which calibration does.
