The one I purchased and installed is relatively quiet. I don't notice any noise. I'm happy with the purchase.

It is as quiet as the original power supply from Dell. Made by the same manufactuer

Yes it is as quiet as can be expected...usually the noise generated from a PSU fan is the bearings starting to wear...we had a great experience with this fan...hope this helps..

Hello Debby, The short answer to that is no, I have had two of these PW3500s and apart from the cooling fan which is very quite they make no noise, even on full load. John.

I don't hear any noise or hum from any fan. The only thing that i didn't like is that when unplugged or the power goes out for any length of time there is a loud alarm until the power comes back on. Kinda annoying! but that is the only problem i have with it. Otherwise it is a great backup battery for my TV and cable box.

Very quiet. I only hear it for a short time when the drives power up. A lot of the noise is the drives so get quite ones.

Mine was pretty quiet most of the time. On startup the cpu fan would be a bit loud but it would quiet down again after a few seconds. I had it for two years, never annoyed me. I had the core i5 3330, gtx 660.

My experience has been that the fan is very quiet. Since I put a solid state drive in it, there is no hard drive noise either.

It is a little louder than most other laptops I've dealt with, but it's not something many people would notice. It seems the more you use it the quieter it gets.

As long as your fan is clean, there really shouldn't be much noise under different load mods. I haven't heard that the fan is an issue.

Mine is definitely silent. It only buzzes/clicks when there is a power fluctuation, which is very rare. I'd suggest to check your line voltage at the outlet before condemning the unit. If that's ok, then yes, your unit may be faulty.

It is quiet, but I would suggest buying another cooling unit as this one is under powered.

It isn't significant running in typical environments. System intense rendering can get that fan humming but it still isn't annoying. I control the fan while running Bootcamp and crank it to max when gaming and only then is it very loud. However I am okay with that cause you need to keep a card cool for gaming.

Mine is super quiet. I have to look at it to make sure it is still running.

Yes, it does. Although I ended up using a 3rd-party heatsink that was quieter.

You wont hear it unless you put your ear right next to it, but I wouldn't recommend this PSU. Get a corsair its worth the extra money, this PSU failed on me at 450watts

Sorry for the delayed answer. The fan is not at all loud. Definitely less noise than my full-sized HP.

It's powered, 12V and got a switched split psu inside, no switching noise audible though.
