it is 1 foot from me right now and I hear a whisper of fans noise and I have 5 fans in the computer

I replaced the stock fans because I considered them to be to noisy, the pump is silent, noise is equal to the quality of fans you use.

bro, it has to do with the fan. the fan is a standard 140mm fan. it is as loud as the 140mm fan installed. The stock fan is loud yes. But you can turn it down. The nzxt green led fan I have installed as well is not loud at all tho

Not loud at all but I use it in an nzxt h630 which has silencing foam inside.

It comes with a heatsink/fan and does not need extra thermal paste because the thermal paste has already been applied to it. Stock cooler is moderately loud if your case is within 2-3 feet from your ears. Idle is tolerable. It revs up when playing games and can interfere with your speaker volumes. After market cooler is considered.

It is still fairly loud. The lower setting isn't too loud but if you really want to move things, you'll probably need it on the higher setting and it's noticeably louder.

It should maintain the pressure so it should be instantaneous. If it's not doing that, then there may be a leak (in the pipes, in the seals, in the connections, etc.). And, depends on what you mean by "loud". Not loud to me; not loud enough to drown out a conversation, but certainly loud enough that you don't really want it to be in your living quarters. It should be just a humming sort of sound, the motor and pump running, no squeals or grinding sounds.

Yes, it is loud. I was warned by one the reviews before buying it, but bought it anyway. I am happy with the machine overall, but the noise has got the biggest downside.

It is not loud, but there is a little fan noise that goes along with it, so it is kind of a quiet white noise. Larger units may be a bit louder.

It is loud. Very loud. But it works very well. And it's only on for a short while, so just put up with the noise.

Hi Michael, Get this cooler! It's fantastic! It only comes with 1 fan. You can buy an optional 120mm fan on the opposite side. With my 8350 idle temps are 34c. If i rip or if the processor is getting used my temps get to around 65c. That's excellent!!! The sound isn't even loud at all. It sounds like a stock fan in a store bought PC. To answer your questions. Get this fan and heat sink if you don't want water cooling. The performance is fantastic!!! No worries at all!!!

I really have not noticed them being very loud. I have 2 of these mounted on my 212 evo cooler that average running around 1700 rpm's to keep the overclocked I7 cooled to 30-40c. Go go them if you need some serious air pushed in your case.

It is not too loud, but it is noticeable due to the fact that the fan is attached to a metal box. I have mine tucked away in a place where I do not hear it unless I'm near it. The benefits outweigh the any sound it produces. You have the option of turning the fan off, if your device has a fan. I prefer having the fan of the box and my device on for optimal cooling. I hope this helps!

I don't think it's loud. My model name is 1200w | ION SELECT | TITANIUM, just like the one in the picture. HIGH/LOW/COOL/OFF and the sound doesn't bother me.

I can't tell I mean really? It have to use a fan to properly cool the wine bottles, and fans make noises as is the TV, Washer, Dryers, Refrigerators etc. For a no noise environment I suggest a bucket of ice is as quiet as you can find and very echo friendly.

That's a personal assessment. It is no louder than window air conditioners I've had in my own bedrooms. It's quieter than many wall air conditioners in motels.

The pump on this cooler is no louder than any of my fans, in fact you could not distinguish the pump noise over the idle fan noise, basically it's quiet.

Are you referring to the amount of noise it makes when its running? My unit is in storage for the winter, so I cannot measure for you, but I can attest that it is no louder than the average window unit.

Like a regular window air conditioner - it will make noise just moving air, it won't rattle the window or radiate sound thru the window sill.The cooler seems to induce sleep with its white noise.You can "move" the unit to reduce the sounds a bit. You can "isolate" it by setting it up on carpet.

It is pretty loud-but that is one reason I bought it-I use it in my bedroom for ambient noise while I fall asleep (also to keep cool)!
