In this article, we have provided you with some of the best tried-out methods to make your projector quieter. Follow our guidelines to enjoy a quality movie night or a quitter conference.

Causes Of A Loud/Noisy Projector:

The main culprit causing your projector to be noisy is the working of a cooling fan that is turned on due to overheating of the projector’s internal components. The heat produced by the projector leads to a high temperature that causes the projector to be noisier.

How To Make Projector Quieter

The noisy projector is a typical condition these days and many people don’t even bother with this problem anymore. We have extensively reviewed the web and come up with this review to provide you with the best in business solutions for making the projector quieter.

Reminder. Before, starting with the troubleshooting you need to know that every projector is different and therefore, the actual steps would be different for each projector. But you can take the general steps for each projector.

Cleaning The Dust From The Vent:

Dust entering into the vent is the most typical reason behind the noisy projector. It doesn’t matter how much care you take in cleaning the dust from the projector. If the dust level in the vent increases, the heating increases beyond the bearable level.

Dust particles when entered into the vent of the projector causes disturbances there and to clean them out the fan is turned on. The cooling fan produces the noise that is heard by the users watching the media on a projector.

Another damaging effect of the dust particles is that they accumulate around the fan and lead to the cooling fan being powered. The fan in return produces more heat and thus overheating becomes a normal phenomenon for the projector.

If you want to prevent overheating and reduce the noise you should regularly clean the dust off your projector vent.

Using ECO Mode:

If cleaning the dust doesn’t help reduce the noise produced by your projector, you can try running the ECO mode. ECO mode is the best solution for reducing the noise produced by the projector. You can turn on the ECO mode and let the magic begin. Now, the question arises, Why is ECO mode helpful in making the projector quieter?

The answer lies in its operation. ECO mode is designed to give environmentally friendly running of electrical appliances and similar is the case with the projector. ECO mode will reduce the power consumption of the projector by putting less stress on the engine.

Less working of the engine means a low amount of heat and this limited heating in turn prevents the cooling fans from turning on. Thus you can enjoy a quieter performance of your projector without being disturbed by the buzzing sound of the cooling fans.

Moving The Projector Away:

If none of the above-listed methods seems to work for you, you can try the most effective way that doesn’t have any side effects and is guaranteed to let you enjoy the quiet performance. That is to say that you can put your projector far away from your seating position. Either put the projector at the back end of your veiling while you are sitting in the middle of the room.

You can try placing the projector as further away from your seating arrangement as possible. Although this seems like the best option, it is not an easier one and not everyone can go with this method.

This is because You would have to keep in mind the range of connectivity, Bluetooth, media-connected devices, and projection to decide the ideal location for your projector.

Furthermore, you would also have to consider the room size and internal furnishing to determine where to put your projector. Thus not all users have the freedom to place the projector at the furthest point from the screen.

Using A Wall Fabric:

Now that you are aware of the culprit behind the projector noise, you have to take steps to crack down on the recognized culprit. In this case, as the heating is the underlying cause of projector noise, you should try to avoid overheating problems of the projector. A cool room can be the best alternative for preventing overheating.

If you are watching the movie in a well-air-conditioned room, the temperature will be under control and the projector will not require the cooling fans to run. In this way, the lesser sound will be produced due to the limited working of the fans.

You can also try putting the fabric on the wall to ensure the quieter working of the projector. Fabric on the walls will prevent the sound from reflecting and most of it will be observed in the wall causing a low amount of sound produced.

If high-quality fabrics are placed all across the room where your projector is running, the amount of noise will all be absorbed in all directions and the buzzing sound will almost become negligible.
