except tricool's are more like 44 on high, i have them.

i just got my 6 medium fans and brought them down in to the basement where i had some tricools and lian-li fans to compare to. (it was 2 am when i did this so barely any ambient to interfere)

so i plugged in 4 of the D12SM-12's and one tricool.

SURPRISE, the 4 yates were quieter than the one tricool on high

conclusion yes they are quieter
