  was just playing about with my new proc fan ( thermaltake volcano 11+  i recommend it)  ;  funny thing about sound is that you only hear the loudest sound from any given source at any given frequency.  so,
 for example,  when you replace your noisy processor fan with a nice,  new,  quiet one,  the sounds it was masking ( like the less-
noisy- but- twice- as- annoying bios fan)  rise to the surface of the sound spectrum.
 so,  now my pc makes less noise ( and is about 9 degrees cel cooler)  but it's sound signature scores somewhat higher in the annoying category.  oh well,  and excuse to spend more money :
