i'm using a sunon 108 cfm 40+dba. love the air flow hate the noise. Thinking ov going and buying a cheap mouse pad and putting it around the sides, but before i do id like your thoughts would it be better to buy a 68cfm 30dba 120mm L1A pany.?
 
try running the fan and holding the ends tight, if it runs quieter then go for it..

i think the rubber will only absorb the noise from vibration...

but its late and im feeling kinda dumb (whats new??)
 
Honestly the Panaflo 120mm L1a isn't really all that quiet, alot of ppl end up running it at 7v. I had one a couple months back before i sold it off and i personaly wouldn't find it level of noise level acceptable but thats crazy ole me 😛 But its definatly a whole lot quieter then your tornado like sunon fan, 108cfm is nice but almost over doing it...if you were just to take a quiet fan and move it close to your hot spots would cool just as efficent.

For fan mounts just grab buy an bike tire innertube and line up your fan mounts with it, doulbe the layers if you wanted.
 
get yourself a fanbus with voltage control ;-)

actually, rubber around the sides won't do much, depending on the way the fan is mounted.

fans are: screwed\bolted on or have a cage.

if screwed\bolted: use rubber washers or grommets between the fan and case. that should cut down on noise caused by a vibrating fan.

if cage: um, depends...
