Are the fans loud when all are in use?

No, not all. Very quiet when the laptop is placed on it and you have 2 modes to run the fans for optimum cooling. Had a month or so now and I love it. Wish I bought 2 of them so I have a backup just in case.

You can hear them but it's not overly annoying...especially if you are listening to music or watching a movie. You can't hear them at all in either case

After just under 1 year of use the fans are SO noisy I had to shut it off. Now it is just a worthless piece of equipment that I wish I had never purchased.

No its quite. U don't even know its on. Works great. I love it. It keeps my laptop from getting to hot and shutting down.

I think it is. Of course the higher the speed the more fan and air noise you have. We use it on the medium setting all the time and forget that it even on.

Yes This fan is moving a lot of air. There are smaller fans designed for low noise.

You can hear it slightly but I've noticed that it only gets really noticeable as the dust collects on the blades. Once you clean those off it's back to quiet. So, if you are looking for silent and wind I don't know what to say, but if you desire quiet and air movement this is a good choice, especially because you can turn all of the fans off except one if noise is the issue when you sleep

You can hear the fan when its running, but I don't think it is loud. I put on music when I was using it and I wasn't bothered by the sound of the fan.

On the lower setting the fan is reasonable for an office (mine is used at work). It would be noticed only as white noise in my opinion. On high it is louder.

No, the fan stays on at all times. It is not a loud fan. If you have other fans in your computer, it won't be any louder than them.

We have only used it in outside settings, where it does fantastically by the way, but I have never really noticed a LOUD fan noise at all.

This fan and all the ones I know like it are loud-that's a lot of air coming through so there is wind noise and fan noise.

The fans are the loudest thing coming from my rack. This is at home so the noise is a bit much (ignorable). I also have wood floors so the sound travels a bit. I'm actually here looking for quiet replacement fans. I can't find the size anywhere. This unit would not be too loud for a standard business server room.

These are the performance edition so they are loud if you just plug them in. If you use a fan controller, either external or through your motherboard, then they can be silent while still moving a good amount of air.

No louder than a "normal" fan regardless of load. You can hear it's running but not over the volume of a typical game. It is very good at keeping the processor cool.

Define "really loud." Mine makes a noticeable noise throughout its entire on-cycle, but it is slightly louder on start-up. If I had to compare the running noise, though, I'd say slightly above desktop fan and slightly below window fan. It's not "whisper-quiet," that's for sure. But, the 'white noise' effect is somewhat soothing, I find. That's just me, though. I hope this helps!

bought 2 about 6 months ago. The fan seems to be loud on mine, but it needs to be cleaned regularly. My husbands isn't loud at all. Cannot tell it is running. It does run all the time. Not just when it gets hot. I sometimes unplug when not in use. For the price, being light weight, I like it.

Mine works well, fans are very loud. They sent me replacements haven't installed yet...

Yes, the fan makes some noise. Not unbearable, but not somewhere between a whisper and soft talk.

I think they are c, I really haven't used the fan, it makes sooo much noise. I am looking for another fan
