I think that fan is kicking 55dba you can add a rheostat to regulate the fans power or get a new fan either a sunon or ys-tech of 50cfm at http://www.svcompucycle.com/ they have fast and cheap shipping. I would buy a rheostat cheaper and better solution.

If you are looking for a quieter fan, and don't want to install a rheostat (which would be my opinion too). Then I would suggest buying a Panasonic Panaflo type fan. They move just as much air as the other fan types, but from my expierience they are much much quieter. Just a suggestion though. Good luck.

If you can find a "squirrel cage" type blower, you can get good CFM ratings at lower decibels. And also, you don't have the hole in the center of airflow, like fans produce.

I got my blower out of an automotive heater, FYI. (try junkyards.)
