    My main desktop PC used to sound like a jumbo jet taking off. I've just fitted two 'quiet' 120mm chassis fans and a quiet CPU fan, along with a filter (pack of ten). The whole lot cost me just over twenty quid (about 25 USD).

    My God, the difference! I can barely tell it's on now. I would highly recommend 'quiet' specification fans, though I suppose most people use laptops nowadays.

    These days there are so many different models of quiet fans to choose from its hard to decide, but it helps to have a case that's actually designed to be quiet in the first place if its really important to you. This website has reviews for anyone interested:

    my laptop can get annoying sometimes, but its usually just during some update. funny last night I heard it, so I turned on the room fan to muffle it.

    Laptops have shit cooling and a quiet laptop is a 'days numbered' laptop. Happiness to me is having none of my chips, especially GPU's, running over 60C degrees.
