Projector fan noise

[davidoloan]

Are home theatre projector fans any quieter than five years ago?

Computer fans generally seem much quieter over that period.

What kind of sound do the current projectors make?

My buddy has a one-year-old projector and you can hear it although it's not really bad. He has recently built a nice box around it and has cut the fan noise completely out. The projector has plenty of room and ventilation as well as easy access the way he built it. It's essentially like having the projector in another room. Looks great hanging from his ceiling nicely boxed in. If I remember the next time I'm over there I'll take a few pictures and post them.
