I found that at the stock speed the fan was audible, but at a much more satisfactory tone than compared to a fan of similar dBA output. Using either of the adaptors and you'll have to come close to becoming Van Gogh before you'll hear the familiar hum of the blade swishing through the air. More importantly, the fan pushes a lot more air than other fans of this size for the same noise output; I couldn't find another 92mm fan that came close to the figures that Noctua list on the box.

"This fan is perfect for people yearning for quiet PC's for their cases, or even their CPU coolers. I've seen many generic PC's that use 92mm fans which are far too loud for what they are doing. Using one of these instead will cost you a little bit more cash, but will allow you to run your PC without the background hum." (Steve Parker, XSReviews.co.uk)
