With so many variables involved in testing a fan, we decided to test fans using a simple and reliable method that involves measuring noise levels. When dealing with fans, manufacturer’s specifications should always be taken with a large pinch of salt which is why we want to find out the real world noise levels of the fan compared to some of its closest competitors. Using an accurate sound level meter positioned 30cm away from each fan, we can accurately measure the noise levels while the fan is operational to show you the fan’s acoustic output via delta noise levels.
Acoustics performance of the Dark Wings/Silent Wings 2 fans is nothing short of brilliant. At full speed both the 140mm, 1,000 RPM version and120mm, 1,500 RPM versions are significantly quieter than some of the best that competitors such as Phanteks and Noctua have to offer. Operating at the 5V setting both fans were barely audible over the background noise with a delta noise level of just 0.2 dbA.
