The fan noise is extremely quiet overall, there is barely a rush of air if you put your ear close, and it will be inaudible inside your case. Noctua fans are renowned for their low noise levels, and the NH-U12P SE1366 is no exception; this is one of the quietest coolers we've ever tested. [...] The Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 is a very good looking cooler that showcases a rather conservative aesthetic, though the fan colour combination may not be to everyone's preference. We do think that performance is where it counts, however, and this Noctua cooler does indeed get the job done very admirably.

"If you're in the market for a new heatsink for your new Core i7 rig and don't want your case to sound like a wind tunnel from a high-output fan needed to keep your chip cool, take a good look at the NH-U12P SE1366, we think it should definitely be on your shortlist." (Jake Mete, PureOverclock.com)
