I can vouch for Brad on this one too. I recently sanded down my Sunon 120mm fan with 600 then 1500 grit sandpaper and I personally believe that it dropped the noise level from 42db to about 38-39db (NOT scientifically proven).

Sanding does make a difference! Now I hear my HDDs more than my 120mm fan
