It's not bad. The last Epson I had would not have worked in a small room due to the fan. The Powerlite runs much smoother.

Not at all. I use it in small groups, chapels, classrooms, all places where it needs to be quiet so I don't have to talk over it.

There are definitely quieter projectors out there. The thinness (like with computers) means that it runs hot, so the fans run harder.

It is not loud at all. However, it does get a bit warm. I have it sitting on my desk and it's been running good without issues. I'd say to make sure there's ventilation wherever you put it.

Fairly loud I would would say In a 10x20 room it does a great job. Must bigger than that you should looks at at other options.

Pretty loud. You could definitely gig out solo or have enough sound to keep up at a practice with a full band (if they weren't turned up all the way). Surprisingly loud.

It is not particularly loud, but it is not whisper quiet either. It is not loud in a shop environment, but it probably would be noticeable in a theater

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.

The fans are pretty quiet actually. I Wouldn't find the sound distracting at 12 feet away but I would certainly say you wouldn't want this running in the open in a frequently used room not so much for the sound but the bright colored light would be extremely distracting.

It is loud enough to be heard over three noisy kids. With that said, your experience may be different. My wife and I think it is pretty loud. She normally sets it to the middle volume setting.

It has a speaker I am not sure if it is loud enough. It depends on the classroom size.

I would say it is loud if set to highest setting. There are 6 settings. Mine is set to 4. I also have extentions so it rings in multiple rooms. I have them set at different levels.

Depends. What type of event will be going on? Small intimate or crazy basketball like. I will say this, as far as the wireless mini speakers goes, this will be your loudest. Its definitely loud enough for a backyard BBQ with say 20 guest

The speaker is plenty loud. The problem is with the mic. There is only one single mic pod (in the main mic/speaker audio pod) and you must place that in the middle of the table. People on the other end will hear the center people well, but the far ends of the table, not well at all. Also, as another person said, you hear a ton of paper shuffling, chair moving, side whispering, etc., and the unit picks up a lot of bass noise. I wish there were a way to add two extension mics, and then it would be perfect, but there's not. Also, I wish it had remote PTZ. It can only be done in the conference room. The camera is great quality, as is the speaker. The speaker is plenty loud. The problem is with the mic.

Depends on how large your yard and your crowd is. For a party of 10-20 guests in a small yard, this can get pretty loud at maximum volume, assuming you play pop music and not classical/jazz tunes.

The fan is very quite on the low setting. I can have it in a meeting room without distrubing anyone. When you get to the faster settings, it does get louder. It is very handy.

For the size that it is, I think it is fairly loud. I use it for my excerise room and bathroom and it's loud enough that I can hear it clearly. The sound carries out well.

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 would say it is loud for the size of the speaker. If you're entertaining 100 people this may not be your best bet for the loudest sound. The Discoball is amazing though! And it comes with a microphone.
