I currently on the Echo Express III-D. The noise is unbearable. How much noise does this unit produce in comparison?
It's not very noisy, but noisy enough that I had to move the device further away because my microphone did pickup the noise during live streaming. I'm actually thinking about replacing the fan with another one or eventually plugging it off to see if my Cam Link Pro can handle the heat without fan.
