I'm just wondering; not sure if it's just my hearing or something, but my QS800 I purchased about a year ago sure does seem louder then before... it almost sounds like one of those little handheld vacums. its got quite a loud blowing/swirling noise, as if the fan is in super/turbo/overdrive mode. it even drowns out my tv. i even placed my QS outside my door and shut it and i can still hear the noise. it's really starting to get annoying, especially if it's late at night and i have to crank up the speakers to drown out the noise, but not too loud as to wake the house. anyone else have this problem? is my fan running at max speed or something? do they run at varible speeds? anybody ever try replacing all their fans for quiter ones? are there quiter ones? Grrrr
