Dear Wolfies97, The video projector is a silent wonder. It is equipped with DTS speakers that easily cover the sound of the fan. So it makes a bit of noise (I can't say in dB) but much quieter than most standard projectors I've had before. There is no option for quiet, performance... etc. No need, it is very perfect and easy to use. So it fulfils its function as a living room projector wonderfully. We recommend it. You can even carry it in half a carry-on suitcase. A simple laptop, HDMI cable and power supply, and you are go-to-go anywhere to project whatever.
