Noise level: Can someone comment on the noise level of this system?

Runs pretty silent, even under load. I haven't noticed it going above 45 degrees C with speed fan running.

I think something is not right if it is 'extremely' loud. Mine was not silent but it was like a low hum.

i think it is a standard decible level for alarms - not particularly quiet. Sounds just like the travel alarm I've got.

We deployed this unit out to a client so its not something that I have daily interaction with. However, I don't recall it being something that stood out to me or if I even noticed any fan noise at all. I know that isn't a great deal of useful information but wanted to get a response back to you.

The only way I could see the fan noise being a problem is if you were running 3 screens with a game AND you were trying to sleep next to it in a very otherwise quiet room. On a scale from unnoticeable - horrible: I would say it's very barable.

All of what has already been said, AND, the headphone link is very noisy. Mine is anyway. Buzzes...hums... Same with two different inputs, two different power sources, no matter where it is placed. It's not an enviromentally induced noise...it's the converter.

Update, I just tried it while playing the ps3 and muted it and there was definitely the same noise. Maybe a bad PSU? Any input would be very appreciated.

Perceived level of noise can be kind of subjective, but I don't find that it bothers me. It is not silent, but I have not turned on fans or wall AC units before due to noise and this one does not seem to interfere with my need of quiet.

Hello, According to product literature, the noise level on high speed for this fan is 58 DB.

Nothing that I could tell. I have it behind an access panel in a wall, but as I hooked everything up (when it was out in the open) I didn't notice any noise at all.

You can adjust from low (2500) to high (5000). I do not think the unit is noisy at all. I run it in my business and hardly notice it's on.

I always install them in an electronics closet so I didn't pay attention to a noise. However, I am actually going to install one today in about 4-5 hours. send me a follow up question and I will let you know if the one I installed has noise or not.

Obviously some noise but don't consider it too noise. I'd consider it generally pretty quiet.

(I have used this for years and I love it.) RE: noise factor, it seems like it could be loud enough on the higher 2 settings. Frankly, I haven't asked my neighbors!!

About average PC noise. Definitely not quiet. It is best to put it in a remote place where you won't hear it. It's quiet enough for an office but not for a media/TV room.

Have had no noise with our unit. Very quiet.... but try it and if does not stop, send back. Hope this helps

On a scale 1 to 10 , i would say that the level of noise is 7,5 ! Pretty noisy !!! But very powerful !
