Average Noise
The average noise output exceeds 30 dBA, so I cannot call this PSU as quiet. But for more details, read below.
Fan Noise & Speed Maps @ 28-32 °C
[115V] The fan’s speed is kept low at up to 550W loads, but the 30 dBA mark is quickly passed with 45W higher loads. With 660W and higher loads, noise is within the 35-45 dBA range. Lastly, high loads on the minor rails don’t seem to affect the fan speed profile. The 12V rail’s load is what matters the most.

I am unsure if many users will opt to pay 110 dollars for a native-cables-only PSU in 2024, given that with 10-15 dollars more, they can get a fully modular ATX v3.x compliant (e.g., the Thermaltake GF3 A3 850).
On page 11, I think there’s a typo in the thermaltake model’s name (GF A3 vs GF3 A3)
