Solution
The noise that a fan makes comes primarily from the RPM that it runs at.
No fan is silent. Quiet, perhaps.
600 RPM is about inaudible.
<1000 RPM is usually quiet enough.
>1500 rpm will be noisy.
You can slow a fan down with a low noise adapter, or a rheostat like Zalman fanmate.
There are minor differences among in tonal quality and cfm.
Noctua is one of the best, but expensive.
Look to www.silentpcreview.com for more quiet computing info and tests
