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
- Low speed
- High enough airflow
- High enough static pressure
- Increased power consumption
25 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Mid airflow
- High enough static pressure
- Increased power consumption
30 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Low to mid airflow
- High enough static pressure
- Increased power consumption
35 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Low airflow
- High enough static pressure
- Increased power consumption
40 dBA Noise Output
- Low speed
- Low airflow
- High enough static pressure
- Increased power consumption
45 dBA Noise Output
- Top speed
- Top airflow
- Top static pressure
- Sky-high power consumption

Really think you need to test the lian li p28 at this point. Can be had for under $15 regularly (bought mine for ~$12 a piece) and seems to have some rest performance.
Not gonna lie, had higher hopes for these hyte fans. Considering T30s have come down in price this makes it a tough sell.
will try to find some P28s then.
Awesome! Can’t wait.
