I dislike fan noise in my shack, one of the many reasons I love my iMac, and before I considered a K3 I made a trip to Aptos and they were kind enough to let me play with one for a bit including running the fans through their paces.
Then, and now on my own K3, I find it nearly impossible to hear the first 3 speeds and the 4th speed is barely detectable. That, plus the fact the the fans rarely come on at any speed means the K3 passes my personal "quiet test".
