Is 34db gonna be noisy?

[eLiu]

If i have 3 34db fans...is that going to be very noisy?

What about 3 32db fans? or 2 34's, and one 32...or some combination of the 32/34db- the 32 fan pumps 36CFM, while the 34 does 41. (Top Motor fans at bestbyte.com)

noise is subjective. My MC462 has the 45db denki fan, 3 intake fans, 1 top rear exhaust fan, Enermax PS with 2 fans, and a vid card fan. To me, thats not too noisey for me.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!?!?!?

Noise is very subjective, what bothers some people wouldnt bother others at all. For example I can't stand the MC462 w/the 45db Denki fan... much too noisy for my tastes, and yet sd has that and more.

three 34db fans are going to be noisy, espcially if you are asking ahead of time if they are going to be loud. what size are they going to be?

3 34 db fans would be a total of about 43 db's ... every time you double the amount of db's you have being produced you can add on about 6 db's. And then in this case another 3 because you have half as much again. But here is the thing, 43 db's is not very loud ! Its "hearable" but shouldnt be an annoyance

they're all 80mm case fans...

43db?! that's...rather loud isnt it? I mean, ive heard one of those 7200rpm delta "screamers"...those are like 46db...uhh...43db not noisy??? u sure?

 

[eLiu]

also...the combined noise will be like:

somewhere between 37db and 40db, if a probable PS unit noise is added...

w/o the PS factored, 36db-38db is more accurate.

soo...still noisy? i found this

It has several fans recorded...although I dont know how loud to set my speakers when I listen...nor how close the recordings were taken, which would matter...ARRGGG

i h8 noise, but my tbird needs to have some air...*$&amp#*&%)& grrrr hehe
