I cant hear myself think - Loud Fans

Post by jbalat » Sat Mar 21, 2020 8:07 am

Is there any direct replacements with the fans someone can link to ?

The one(s) in the power box is driving me crazy... Not sure about the 2 on the hot end since I cant hear anything else, I feel like I have tinitus

THANKS
JB

Hi, did you mean the fan in the power box?
Belongs to normally open fan.
you can try replacing the driver board to reduce the sound.

Sorry William not sure what a driver board is... but sounds like overkill ?

I found another post who mentioned that they are 12v fans running at 24v which is why they are so loud
Solution is to add a resistor in series.
Will give it a go

I have an A30 and the power box is very loud. It is coming from the power supply. It sounds like I am walking into as server farm. I would like to find a fix for this too!

Hi,It may be that the fan blade is broken, and the wire scrapes the fan blade, so there will be abnormal noise.
