It is pretty quiet overall. Starts spinning at 4V, it's close to silent up to 8V and you can hardly hear it from 1m distance at 12V, except when exhaust directed at you. It's a good deal @6.
These fans are not unreasonably loud, like Delta hairdryers, but they are hardly silent, and if that is important to you, these fans will not satisfy. Their subtle whirr doesn't matter at my house because it already has as much background hum as the USS Enterprise-D.
Double ball bearing fans used to be standard back in the 80's and early 90's, but as everything moved toward cheapness, the standard was supplanted, first by single-ball bearing fans and finally by full sleeve bearings. Sleeve bearing is kind of a cute name for No-bearing--it's literally just plastic rubbing against plastic. Obviously, this is not ideal from an engineering standpoint and sleeve bearing fans have notoriously short lives.
Sleeve bearings accumulated such a negative reputation that the fan industry invented another term, Fluid-dynamic Bearing, so they could sell sleeve bearings under a different name--one that wasn't synonymous with "junk". Supposedly fluid dynamic bearings ride on a cushion of air generated by canals in the sleeve or something, but don't confuse them with a true air-bearing, which require a high pressure air stream generated by another source and are used in special applications requiring high speeds and high durability, like large commercial copiers. In my experience, fluid-dynamic bearings last no longer than sleeve bearings, which is no surprise because that's basically what they are. They are quieter than ball bearing fans, at the beginning of their lifespan, but start making horrific noises as they age, and they age quickly.
I have 4 cases with all-ball-bearing fans that are over 15 years old and they still work (maybe I replaced one fan that went bad out of the lot), although they are starting to get a little bit too noisy, even for me, so I am slowly switching them out for new ones. If they had been sleeve bearing fans, they would have needed replaced 4 times by now.
Double-ball bearing fans are not very easy to find at this point. Vantec is one of the few choices on Amazon that I trust and I haven't had any problem with the Vantec Stealths I have bought from various places over the years.
