The fan makes very little noise as it spins fairly slowly...of course
there are other options to make it totally silent also. You could put
on a big heatsink and loose the fan altogether or mount a larger slower
fan somehow. All in all I'm happy with my m10000 even with the fan, but
I wasn't going for a "silent" system either, so you may find it more or
less annoying than me.
BTW they also make a fanless m10000 but its hard to find in my
experience.
