Normalized Noise Tests
For these tests, I set the fan to speeds with noise output at the following predefined levels: 20/25/30/35/40/45 dBA. I skip the corresponding tests if the fan under the test cannot reach some noise levels. The speeds shown in the graph below are measured with the fan in a clear space inside my hemi-anechoic chamber without any obstacles. I set these speeds on the Longwin machine, but they slightly change because of the variable conditions that the device applies.
20 dBA Noise Output
- High enough speed
- Low airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption
25 dBA Noise Output
- Mid speed
- Low airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption
30 dBA Noise Output
- Mid to high speed
- Low airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption
35 dBA Noise Output
- Mid to high speed
- Low airflow
- Low static pressure
- Low power consumption

Tests show the white Silent Wings 4 140mm is noisier than the black version?
Epilogue
The high-speed version of the be quiet! Silent Wings 4 120mm
-> typo: should be 140mm
True.
