Is it like 60 decibel or so? Yeah, it's ear-piercingly loud. The Tornado 80mm fans are very loud too, at 56db. The fan is larger, lower rpm and it's more of a low pitch loudness. The 50cfm delta 60mm is crazy loud though, it's much higher pitched. It's a good fan, no doubt, just don't forget to grab your shooting range ear muffs when you head over to the PC.. :) I'm making some Y splitters soon (4 pin molex power connectors), it takes a normal power and splits it into 2 connectors but steps the voltage down to 9 volts instead of 12. On Vantec Tornado and Delta (and other very loud fans) it keeps the voltage high enough to provide good cooling (84 cfm @ 12v, stepped down to 63cfm 9v) and making the fan(s) MUCH quieter. These will be on the page soon after I hire a new webmaster. They'll only be $2.99, and $1 shipping.
