A number of 12VDC computer fans (I'm looking at one right now branded "ThermalTake") come with speed control capabilities built in -- either from a pot or a thermistor that they supply with the fans. I use the pot variety on my PC and "tune" the speed for minimum noise.another way to reduce fan noise is to reduce the speed of the fan. one of my recent projects is a fan controller with speed proportional to temperature, with the temp sensor wherever you like.
