Thing was, with my chosen fan, even at the lowest possible rotation speed, it was louder than I wanted it to be.


Hmmm... that sucks (or blows - depending on which side of the fan you are ). Sorry about that, I couldn't resist.

That must be one helluva noisy fan. Either that or you have super acute hearing!!

FYI the fan I'm using has a quoted noise level of 23 dB(A)/m. How does that compare to yours?
