That little fan is very quiet in this setup. The fan sits about 3 feet from my ear and I don’t even notice it.

EDIT:


Notice the fan sits up in the air on silicon mounts that come with the fan. If you hold a fan up in the air with your fingers, it is very quiet. Put it into a case and it’s noisy. Two reasons. Holding in the air = no backpressure. In most instances, put the fan in a case = considerable back pressure. The other reason for fan noise, in most instances, most fans transmit mechanical vibrations to the case. The silicon mounts eliminate this, and put the fan away from the heatsink to reduce back pressure. Looks funny, but effective.
