Noise Damping/Output Results
Stock Fans Noise Output – LAeq/LZeq
Noise Output All Frequencies – LAeq/LZeq
Noise Damping Performance All Frequencies – LAeq/LZeq
These is room for improvement in the 5-9kHz range for noise dampening.
Noise Damping Performance Chirp/Pink Noise – LAeq/LZeq
The unfiltered pink noise dampening is low, but the filtered dampening is significantly better, which is what matters most.

This is actually a cool case. The mesh side panel is a good compromise on displaying your parts and airflow. Too bad Superflower does not have a wide presence in my country and as such their cases and power supplies are rarely available.
Since the start of this year, you have been focusing primarily on the sound characteristics of PC cases. Although, this case is the worst in the noise damping and even “outperform” XPG Invader X Mini :o, has no mention about this finding in the negatives. This result looks like the case is a high frequency amplifier (from 5 to 9 kHz) …so someone who has a problem with coil whine should avoid it. Don’t you think? 😉

note: Links to chapters 3 and 4 are mixed up 😉
thank you! We will check them.
Thank you for taking the time to read our review! We’ve taken your feedback into account and have updated the article to include a note about the case’s noise-damping performance.
While perforated side panels generally offer inferior noise damping compared to glass panels, it’s also worth highlighting the surprisingly good acoustic performance of the stock fans, something we don’t see very often.
👍
–“…While perforated side panels generally offer inferior noise damping compared to glass panels…”
Yes, I know 😉 … though, the benefit of a mesh side panel for temperatures and airflow pattern can be negligible to undetectable 😉
Maybe, even counterproductive in high-pressure scenarios…what can’t be said about the sound 🙂

…not even talking about dust maintenance 😀
