Does the cooling fans make noise?

yes.. but no more than my downdraft stoves fan. I really don't pay attention to it.

They make a little noise but after a point they turn themselves off automatically. But the unit itself keeps the off/on red blinking switch on. No heat though and no fan til you hit it to turn it on.

I don't know if the fans are ultra quiet. But I run them at their highest setting (they have 3 manual settings) & I have to stand close to my entertainment center with everything else in the room turned off & no sound from any other device in order to hear them.

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.

If you have them in a computer on the desktop next to you running at maximum speed, they would be a bit annoying. I have 6 fans in my computer but only 1 running at maximum speed and I don't even notice them unless I specifically listen.

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.

barely... there is very slight fan noise, but it is VERY subdued and the computer is perfectly silent when the fan is not on.

Yes it's very quiet. The size of the fans means they're more quiet then the standard 2-3inch fans.

I've had mine since February 2013 and can't say the fan is loud. I have had issues with it freezing up and having to reboot though.

If the fan to which you refer is the convection oven fan, the answer is no, it is not noisy. The unit appears to be well insulated from sound.

No detectable noise and no fan that I saw. However, there are vents along the side so I'm guessing there is some kind of ventilation system to keep it cool. Whatever or however it does that, noise is not a factor.

No, but any fan noise, air conditioner, exhaust fan, etc may be the problem.

We have only used it in outside settings, where it does fantastically by the way, but I have never really noticed a LOUD fan noise at all.

Absolutely not. Obviously any fan makes some noise but this heater is quiet on both the lo & hi settings. We use it occasionally and primarily in our bedroom. It warms the room well and we both sleep with no noise problems with the fan.

The fan isn't any louder then a normal case fan. Most of noise comes from the hard drives spinning, which can vary from none if using ssds or very loud if using something that is 10k plus.

No. Idles very silent. Even under normal usage I cannot hear. My fans mounted on PC case are louder, and they aren't very loud themselves.

Yes, the fan makes some noise. Not unbearable, but not somewhere between a whisper and soft talk.
