@ old_tv_nut : I was also curios how did you feel when doing that? Did you like playing with tech, feel proud of you doing that?
Anyway, there where any 16 m.m. projectors that had better sound?

Some projectors have better sound than others, but the issue is the format itself, not the projector. The fidelity of the optical soundtrack on a 16mm movie is limited by its width, and it's operating speed. The width limits the dynamic range, and the speed limits the high frequency response.
Projectors can make matters worse by not properly isolating the intermittent mechanism from the sound head, which introduces audible wow into the sound..
Set up well, fidelity isn't that bad. It's more than good enough for watching movies. It does also depend on the quality of the print. Some "dupes" have pretty crappy sound, but movies printed by a studio usually aren't bad.
I'd take it any day over watching a DVD, despite the sound quality issues.
