25dB seems fairly loud (not sure what my current projector figure is though).

However obviously the pitch of the noise and how often it changes level/pitch (at which point you are more likely to notice it) are probably more important.

How would you rate it from a noise perspective (important question for any projector owner)?

It appears pretty close to the head of the middle chair, what is it like sitting right in front of the projector?
