Loud, rattling, but looks nice and works

I'm not sure why fans cost so much money, but they seem rather expensive in local stores, so I tried this one.

If it wasn't such a pain to carry it down to the post office, I'd send it back--and if I knew what I would buy to replace it.  The fan rattles obnoxiously when it starts up or comes to a stop.  Normal operation is a bit louder than I would like, but it does move plenty of air around for such a small fan.

But the fan looks good on my desk, so I'll hang onto it for now.  But I might have been wiser to spend a little more on something better.

There is a fan in the side door which makes the door and the lock vibrate making quite loud noise. I managed to turn it off by insulating contacts with some sticky tape. However, the case still makes a lot of noise. It seems that all the parts are a bit loose. E.g. the slot covers at the front vibrate as well. This is especially frustrating if you spent extra cache on high quality and quiet internal parts (cpu fan, video card etc).

There are 3 dust filters. 2 are simply slid in and out, while the one in the side door needs to be pushed in to pop out and then it can be pulled out. This mechanism broke down after several months.

There is a bulge at the back that's used for tightening internal cards with screws. This is so close to the card slots that if you buy an nVidia card and it happens as in my case that the HDMI port is at the end next to the bulge, you won't be able to use the port. I Googled the pictures of many nVidia cards and most of them have the port in this position. Some nVidias have 2 ports, in which case the other port probably can be used. I took photos of this issue and forwarded them to Thermaltake. They acknowledged they received the message and informed me that the issue would be escalated to the design guys. They haven't contacted me since then.

The front mask is loosely attached so if you happen to kick it when standing up from a chair (it happened to me several times, I did it somehow with my knee) while the comp is on, it can detach itself, push the reset button, and restart the comp. (ups!)

So, the case has an interesting design, but it was produced and assembled with no quality control. This was my first (and will be the last) Thermaltake case. I'm very disappointed.

Works, but there's a persistent squealing noise in the background now and I had to buy a sound hub to mitigate the noise.

I ordered this product specifically because it was labeled as being 'quiet'.  When it arrived (on time) it was smaller than expected although when I plugged it in and fired it up it was putting out a surprising amount of heat rather quickly.  The BIG problem was the rattling noise.  It sound like the casing was never connected properly to the internals and it does rattle.  Okay for some, annoying for me.  Don't know if I will be able to sleep with it on.  One really cool feature on it is the anti tip device which is just a button on the bottom of the base on the floor side that has to be depressed by the units weight in order for it to work.  All in all, heats well, annoying sound.

This watch looks and feels very nice. Looks like a much more expensive watch than what it is.

However, it is very noisy compared to other watches. I can hear the seconds ticking from pretty far away, which is very annoying. Would be 5-stars if it wasn't for the noise issue, but it's enough to really bother me.

It looks cool and sounds impressive, but the problem with it is that the water inside of the speaker is rather noisy while it is being sprayed around inside of the speaker.  You WILL notice it if you are not playing music loudly.

It works fine but it's rather loud. It also vibrates so much that it doesn't actually rest on its feet. Gets the job done though.

Fan arrived on time, looks pretty and easy to assemble.
But after 5 minutes if a test run - a horrible rattling started when the fan is running at top speed. There's clearly something wrong internally as its super silent on the first two modes and then awakes the kraken.
Got things a replacement for another Tower fan I bought and then this :( come on guys

It's nice looking and simple, but cost too much. also kind of noisy.

Easy to install and the product works just fine.  The only problem is that it is creaky and noisy.  I tried following a few tips gleaned from other reviews to lubricate it without success.  I'll leave it up as it does its job, but would prefer something quieter.

The fan works good and looks amazing. But when you turned it on high, it's quite noisy. Also when it turns, it makes this clicking sound sometime.

Loud operation, but good price fore the capacity

This one's going back. It makes a noticeable high-pitched whine and rattle, like two plastic parts are hitting one another. It's got great proportions and looks okay on a bedside table, but it was unpleasant-sounding for something I would want to leave on all night.

Noisy, but it works well enough, given the price.

Seems to do a good job of cleaning the air. But I have owned it less than two months and it has developed the most annoying rattling noise.  Sounds like something inside is loose or jiggling.  Super annoying.  This is on the lowest setting.  Had to move it out of my living room as the sound was driving me crazy.  Looked to see what is loose, but it must be internal.  It this continues it will have to be thrown away.  Too late to return it to amazon and too costly to ship out for repair.

Cooler is noisy.  Not refrigerator sound noisy but  It makes gushing and gurgling noises that are  very distracting.  The build quality appears good and the water is cooled relatively quickly.  The noisy operation is really bothering me.  My previous oasis cooler that lasted 15 years did not make this much noise.  Not recommended for a kitchen environment.  Maybe fine for an office.  I may return this.

Nice size and finish, but it is mechanically much louder than the 16mm version.  I was able to turn this into a momentary switch by removing the latching clip.
