Hello Bob,
I have both the Hercules II and th Golden Titan amps mounted in 2
separate TenTec rack cabnets on each side of my desktop. You can't even
hear the fan in the Hercules II when it is on. When the power is
increased, the fan speed is increased, but you still can barely hear it.
It is very quiet.
The Titan blower is still not what I consider loud and noisy. It is not
like it sounds like a jet aircraft. I keep it on the "fast" side of the
fan speed on the power supply. I use both amps on QSK setting.
I have the Titan amp with a set of rack mount fans directly above it in
the rack mount configuration. The set of 3 ac fans pulls the air in from
the front and blows it out the back. I put a dimmer switch/fan speed
control switch and mounted it in an electric box with an attached outlet.
This alows me to control the speed of the fans. If left on high speed,
the 3 rack mount fans are a little noisy, that's why I use a speed
control switch.
I hope this helps you out on the noise question of the amps.
