How much noise will three 8dB(A) fans make?
About as much as a gnat farting a hundred yards away.
These are REALLY quiet fans - three of them will, at a
maximum, have a noise level that is 12 dB LOWER than the
noise floor in a VERY quiet studio.
Very true!
Don't forget that the 8dB(A) spec is probably utter marketing
bull****. If you can hear one operating 1 metre away it certainly
isn't 8dB(A).
I have personal experience of so called 8dB(A) computer fans that
(when suspended in free air) could be heard 6 metres away in a very
quiet domestic room. The room on its own measured 23dB(A) with a
calibrated class 1 precision sound level meter. Fans were of Chinese
origin and were 1500 rpm 60x60mm type.
I have faith. I use one of the 8dbA fans on a daily basis. They are
made by noctua, an Austrian company with lots of boffins working for
them.
They are, without a doubt the best fans ever made. Nothing made by any
other company even comes close.
Check the fan out if you want..
