How noisy is the fan?

Not noisy at all. The projector runs rather quietly, even when used all day in classes.

Definitely not noisy. And I use all day long in a good number of my classes.

Not silent, but much quieter than your standard projector. Short answer is "tolerable" and "barely noticeable" in a small conference room (2-4 people).

I have not noticed the fan to be any louder than any other projector I have used, but I must admit to never having used the projector in a boardroom-type setting or other more enclosed environment. Most of my presentations have been to 25 or more in a classroom-type setup. The only thing odd about this projector is that the fan shuts off as soon as you power down the projector. All other projectors I have used have run the fan for a bit after power down of the lamp to allow it to cool off properly. Time will tell if this shortens my lamp life, I guess.

Due to the use of laser and led rather than a large incandescent light source the unit does not build up heat nearly as much as other projectors. This means that the fan is actually quite slow and the unit is very quiet. I have never actually thought about the noise from the fan in either the classroom or smaller meeting room in which I have used this model of projector, so it is not loud in any way. Hope this helps...

Hello Jerseyboy.The fan is a tiny bit noisy, as in you can definitely hear it. But its really hardly noticeable. The only time I notice the fan is when I first turn it on. but after the sound kicks in, you hafto struggle pretty hard to hear it. J. FisherReplicasUSA

In low power mode there is no fan but the light output is low - good enough for a dark room. In mid and high-output the fan comes on. High-output (full brightness) the fan is its loudest which I feel is too loud for placement on a conference room table but not bad if the unit is ceiling-mounted up away from the people talking & listening to a presentation.

It is very quiet. It does have a fan and occasionally it is loud if the computer is "working hard". I would say the fan is on very low 90% of the time and you can barely hear it.

It's pretty quiet. When I have my computer on I don't even hear it, only the sound of the fans in the computer.

It's a 4" fan, and it isn't completely quiet. It makes a sort of 'white noise' kind of thing. Not very problematic, unless you're looking for total silence. It is definitely not a problem for me, and I have it right next to me on a nightstand.

It is loud. I replaced the fan with "Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 80mm Silent Fan for Computer Cases and CPU.." It is much better now.

The fan is very quiet. I almost did not buy this because someone wrote a negative review on the fan noise. This is not an issue at all.

On the low setting it will be pretty quiet. On high there will be a noticeable sound. I like it on my desk because it muffles out other conversations sort of like a white noise. I like this fan a lot.

It is a little noisy but it was never enough to bother me. I was using it mainly for a teapot and I would say the fan was never louder than the boiling water.

I have not used it indoors but the fans are not loud at all. The sound definitely drowns it out. I ham still very happy with it, we have used it several times.. No complaints

It's probably about as quiet as a box fan but in general, this fan is not quiet. I find the lowest setting to push too much air and is too noisy.

The fan is pretty quiet. I have one each in my children's bedroom and they haven't complained about the noise. Have had it for almost a year now I think. They have used it during the winter too in the reverse to circulate the warm air.

Kathy, We used ours in the kitchen and although it is not totally quiet, it is reasonable and acceptable. I have been impressed with the quality of the fan. Pw

It's very quiet. It only makes noises when you carry your laptop with your right on the fan.

Yes, the fan makes some noise. Not unbearable, but not somewhere between a whisper and soft talk.

quiet enough, but it is a FAN, if you can not expect total silence. The motor needs to turn:)
