Have heard negative comments on the fan noise and being too loud. What does this mean?

If it is in a small room without ventalation it can get really hot so the fan needs to work over time so the projector doesnt over heat. I sometime notice it but it doesnt bother me. I use some loud bose speakers so if the fan is on "full blast" i dont even notice. People are being extran picky i think

I have mine mounted almost directly above my theater chairs and it has never been an issue for me. You can hear it barely if there is silence in the movie but it is very slight. There are so many positives with his projector some barely audible fan noise is the least of my concerns. It's a great projector. I've had mine for about a year and use it every day just about.

I love mine. I am not sure how one would hear fan noise over any theater system. The benefit of led is no heat, so minimal fan. Whoever commented can't have a projector with led light source.

I have not heard any fan noise with my Epson 3020 projector,I really have been enjoying mine!

I have watched over 50 movies and I do not have complains about the fan being too loud. Some times you may be able to hear it once you are done watching a movie, but during the movie no complains. My theater has 3 lanes of chairs (4 chairs per lane) to seat and every lane is raised 20 inches. My last lane is 40 inches above the ground and closer to the projector. I like to sit on the back and I cannot hear the fans. (7.2 surround sound system, 110 inch screen)

Never noticed a fan problem. I can hear it, but it's quite minimal (and I'm sensitive to noise).

For me if I put it two meters away and set it to lowest level, I can nearly heard any noise. But the sound of fans at the highest and middle level are quite clearly to be heard, which you may enjoy. The highest level is loud. Hope this will be of help.

Probably not what you are asking about however, I had a fan problem with mine but not right away. After 5 days of ownership, I carried around my N120 and the following day the fan was making a rattling noise. The fan blade was obviously hitting something (similar to a stick hitting bicycle spokes). It appears there was something lose that decided to interfere with the fan blades. It would go away once it is powered down, it would also change volume if you move the computer around. Otherwise, the fan is quiet and normal, no vibration.

Hi Peggy, I am not sure as I bought this as a gift for someone who just wanted a small fan to go to sleep with. The soft sound of the fan noise helps my mother-n-law fall asleep and stay asleep. Sorry I could not be of any assistance to you in answering your question. Sincerely, Bill

I agree with fcsolis. I hear a fan noise especially when it is working hard, I didn't really think about it till Amazon asked to respond to your question. Right now as it is charging I can hear the fan going and do notice that the sound increases depending on what I am doing and how many applications I am using at the same time. I use mine for research as a student. Multiple windows open on Firefox with Word and Excel, Adobe and sometimes Paint, increases the fan sound as the laptop gets warmer. I can't recall hearing hard drive noises but never really paid attention so I can't say there isn't any. I agree with fcsolis.

That is a surprising question as I can't answer it. I've often sat behind the projector during our computer club meetings where we talk about what we have showing on the screen and I've never noticed the fan noise. If it has noise it hasn't been objectionable or distractive.

The noise wasn't the problem. This fan did not produce cool air,you have to be right in front of it to feel it.

Johnny, I'm so glad you ask this question. I LOVE, LOVE,LOVE this fan. My husband is not a lover of fans because of the noise factor, but I love them because I can't sleep unless I'm cool and comfortable. This fan has made us BOTH happy. Even my husband ask me to turn it, or he will already have it on when I get in bed. The low setting is very low, so low I had to check to see if it was actually working. Of course the medium and high settings are a bit louder, but not horrible. Hope this answers your question. I WILL purchase Vornado products in the future.

Using the computer for everyday work, the fan rarely has a need to even come on, using the graphics heavily, where you use the Nvidia instead of the onboard, or something that is really heavy on processing, then it will. When the fan runs, it is noticeable but not obnoxious.

Julie, I have the whole fan unit that I installed but a customer didn't like it, you can buy the one I have. It was barely used. $30 cash ok? Greg - acrescue@rocketmail.com

The only way I could see the fan noise being a problem is if you were running 3 screens with a game AND you were trying to sleep next to it in a very otherwise quiet room. On a scale from unnoticeable - horrible: I would say it's very barable.

I would not want to try to carry on a conversation in the same room where the fan was running. We had it installed in a bedroom window at the far end of the house and it was still way too loud.Make sure you read the other reviews and see how many of these fans have failed in a very short time. The 'replacement' that was sent to us when the first one failed after just a couple months was even worse.

I haven't noticed it myself at all with this case and I have done plenty of work with the side panel off while it's on... But I did have quite a few fans in there so maybe that covered it but I know there was no high pitch whine on mine. I am also selling mine for half retail price. Contact back if you are interested.

Sounds like it's overheating, I had attached a fan to mine and it worked great.

It is more of a loud whine. People on all sides of my cubicle could hear it, even the ones that sit diagonal. Fan only worked for 2 hours. Might want t try something different.
