| Fan Noise Solutions Another important point is that the noise figure you see quoted is measured with the fan suspended in the middle of an empty chamber; the noise you actually hear is with the fan fastened to a metal box, a grille of sorts on one end, and various cables and components in the flow path. This always increases the fan's noise level, sometimes more than doubling the perceived effect.

| Dust sticking on the blades lowers air flow than not having the grill
