Noise: How noisy is this case?

mine isn't at all. the top half has slide locks and a thumb screw so no vibrations there. back o fthe case has 5 screws that i replaced with thumb screws and no vibrations there. the case fans adjust speeds from the front panel so you can run them on low for most applications. i have 3 case fans and a large one on my cpu. this case runs very cool (mid 20's C mb, mid 30's C cpu) and quiet compared to the mid tower case that was only a few months old.

I've found the fan noise to be similar to other ultrabook-style laptops if I'm using it intensively. It's not excessively loud, but it is noticeable, especially if you're sensitive to higher frequency noises.

I don't find it noisy. Since the enclosure is fanless, the only noise is when the drive is spinning.

Depends on how close others are. It does make some noise, but I, personally, do not find it loud.

I haven't built a case (mine are in the head of a robot so are protected that way. I haven't seen any noise on these. Other cheaper models with a similar form factor have had noise but not these.

It is an acceptable noise level to me. As to weather it will seem "horribly noisy" to you - I have no idea what you mean.

We can't give you an exact decibel level, but the noise level is equivalent to a small table fan running on low, at least to us.

I have had this item for some time and have never noticed a noise. I am pretty sensitive to noise, so I'd say no.

No, the machine's noise is minimum and nice. You can check it out on YouTube.

Not noisy at all. It has a sound when it is close to finishing but the sound is very low.

The unit is about medium noisey. Naurally the faster fan makes more noise. But as usual, once it on for awhile your hearing ignores the noise.

Not too much. They are audible, by no means silent, however it's not like a plug in fan. Ill also note, my case cracked along the bottom, and the only times it's been moved were placing the pc on its side to work on it. Just saying.

No, its not noisy. but you can hear it, its a soft sound maybe like a small fan, its not an annoying sound.

This isn't the one I purchased but if it's made out of the same material, polypropylene, then no, it's not noisy. Mine and my husbands is very quiet.

Hello, this product will have some noise, if less demanding on the sound, you can use

I cannot say for 100% certain. It seems reasonably quiet (certainly NOT silent), but I'm running it in a server room with a couple of servers that kick out major decibels, so I don't have an accurate sense of this machine's noise level. Sorry.

Definitely. I have owned it for... several months now (6 maybe) and it is excellent. It is quiet enough that I have perhaps used it to catch up some some Minecraft (click-click-click!) at the campus library.I've never tested in a truly noiseless environment (a/c, coworkers, etc...), but for me it's effectively silent.
