I'll pour a little water on it next time, that always seems to complete my circuits..

R=4k and C= 0.01uF is for ~20kHz (and it should work for ~25kHz) according to AN538

the next project is PWM control the sanyo board, but it's already very silent at 12V, is it need to speed down
Nice! Yes, PWM would be a nice addition

FYI, the Sanyo motor is nice and quiet, it sounds much more like a DDC3.1.

Doing a quick and dirty test, not even apples to oranges. The DDC1 had an old PTS acetal top, the Sanyo had and acrylic top.

Ambient = 35.5 dbA
Ambient + DDC1 = 41.7dbA (+6.2dbA)
Ambient + DDC1 with DIYINHK Sanyo PCB = 38.1 (+2.6dbA)

I'll have to do a more apples to apples (Same Top) video recording type of test in an actual loop, but the Sanyo controller is nice and quiet.
