I have one......
The noise level is about the same as the 8000 rpm Deltas I have, but it is far less disturbing than they are!
An 8000 rpm, 60mm fan has a high pitched whine that pierces right through your eardrums.
Of course, all my high performance fanned computers are in my cellar
My workstation is water cooled

i have 4. i thought i was going to be able to handle the noise of one. it wasn't that bad but my ears pleaded with me to either spend more dollars and get some ear plugs or a device that actually quieted these monsters down. now i am a firm believer that if you buy hi-performance fans like these that they should be run full out but for my hearing and also for the fact that i have to hear my son when he wakes up, that i got my rheo.

Quit your whining! LOL I had a Delta 80 for 1 year and 1/4 and I sleep through it and the computer is on 24/7. Not to mention the other 9 fans in this case. At one point I did consider changing all to Vantec Stealth but I currently don't have the money for it.

Re: Vantec Stealth Fans
I would say so. About 21dBA and 27CFM. Not bad.

what brand is the 60mm? that thing will probably whine more than whoosh if that makes any sense.

Just added a 92mm Tornado to my SK-7. It's a little loud. Also running 2 Smart Fans at full tilt in that box. You can hear my system down the street.

Look at it this way with it running, you will always know your system hasn't shut down on you.
my sentiments exactly. at least i know they are working!

Loud
I definitly think they are a little loud. I'v got 4 (2 92mm and 2 80mm) in my case hooked up to a rheobus and an 80mm on my swiftech heatsink. If it wasn't for the rheobus I think I'd go nuts. Takes a little bit to get used to.

not knocking vantec's products but make sure you read this before you delve into the unknown.

Even at 7V, my Sunon Tornado has driven me to water cooling....
