what does 55 decibals sound like?
 
I plan to buy a 92mm delta fan that puts out 110cfm to go on my new OCWC 4x4 radiator but i'm worried that it will sound like you had a close encounter of the turboprop kind. can anyone give me an appox. sound level i can actually hear?http://www.delta.com.tw/dcfans/pdf/FFB9238.pdf

About twice as loud as the Delta black label fan attached to a FOP38. Or to put it another way, 55dB is about the same level as normal conversation.

The volume level itself isn't what makes the Delta a whore, it's the fact that it's all high pitch..

even 47dB is no fun!!

I'd guess 55db would sound much like the fan over most people's stoves..
