    Yes they are really good.

    However consider the totality of your noise footprint when setting your expectations. I started with quieter case fans, which allowed me to hear how damn loud my cpu cooler was. Replaced that with a Noctua, and that alerted me to how loud HDDs are and how often my psu fan kicks in.

    My case now has zero HDDs, all Noctua fans including CPU cooler, and a PSU that will stop spinning completely if temps drop below a threshold.

    If my fans don’t spin up over 50% I cannot hear them. It’s great.
