It seems to be equipped with a fan. Does fan always run while it is playing music? Any issue with fan noise?

Don't know if the fan runs constantly, I doubt it does. If it does run constantly, it is nearly silent. However, if the fan has come on while listening to music, I have never noticed. This little wonder has performed flawlessly so far, just be aware that you will need update the firmware occasionally for proper operation. I do this wirelessly through Wi-Fi connection, so really no big deal. Hope that helps. Good Luck!

The fan runs continuously unless the tank is full which shuts the machine down. It's the nature of the beast. It does run quietly. I have been happy with mine so far.

No, the fan stays on at all times. It is not a loud fan. If you have other fans in your computer, it won't be any louder than them.

Fan does run at all times, however it appears to be thermostat controlled and will only really spin up when under load. Even then though when I am using this unit its pretty quiet and never really gets hot.

It has two modes: in one the fan coil really makes some noise but in the other one (quiet mode) it does make almost no noise (the problem is it can heat the system a little bit). One question to answer is "noise when". If the problem is noise to interfere during your sleep time, you have two ways to put the system in stand-by, first one is daily schedule (for instance you can turn it off everyday at 23:59), second one is everytime it is not accessed for more than n minutes. Both are programmable and not mutually excludent. I can say in summary it makes some noise but there are lots of ways to circumvent and avoid it when it is important to keep it quiet. I hope it helps.

The fan on my unit comes on as soon as I plug it in. I assume it is malfunctioning! If you operate it without the fan running it will probably overheat and burn out the components.

It does have a cooling fan and it is pretty loud. You probably will not hear it much if you're playing music, but if it is near recording equipment you can hear it.

It has a fan, so it moves air , but the motor is quiet. I find that if I move it to one side or just turn it off if there is a real problem with sound. I really doesn't cause me much of a problem though. I am quite happy with it.

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.

Fan is automatic. It's loud, too loud for video, unless you're patched into DJ system or far away from the light.

The fan runs when you plug in the unit to the adapter. It runs louder the more items you plug in but it's not real loud even at full capacity of a laptop running. I often take calls with it plugged in and the fan is not disruptive to anyone.

Good question, actually the fan is very quiet and doesn't seem to drown out much in the way of sound.

Yes, the fan run constantly, even when not heating. It's actually nice (in my opinion) that it maintains a fairly constant state of white noise, rather than fully shutting down.

No, it does not. What I do when I have it in use is switch to the AUX input when I want to make sure it stays quiet. It is powered by a wall wart, so you could plug it into whatever switches the rest of your system on and off. Or not worry about it. It runs very cool and doesn't draw that much power.

The fan runs while it is on. It is as loud as a small desk fan. Hope this helps.

Yes it has a fan. I used this live quite a few times and even a few house parties where it ran all night. I have never had a problem with it

The 375 (what we purchased)does have a fan, it makes a bit of a whirring sound. It is fairly loud if it is in the front seat by you. The cord is long enough, we put it on the floor in the back seat and the kids have headphones on. It is not annoying. The unit never gets hot. Hope this helps. We are still happy we purchased this for long car rides.
