> That is interesting, because the fan on my X200 is running just over
2000 when idle (X200 is a small machine that runs relatively hot), but
is almost completely silent; I can barely hear it (and not just because
the air-force destroyed my hearing...)

Well I do have very sensitive ears though, so it could be just that.
But when I put my ear close to the machine on different spots it seems like
there's also some type of "electrical" noise like the display is "hizzing".
So there's actually two separate sounds which in conjunction makes the
machine kind of noisy (but not *very* noisy).

if you are the kind who likes doing stuff like that. If you end up
taking the fan out, you could clean it with a de-greaser spray, add a
lubricator and check again.
That would definitely be something to try out for sure! Thanks
