I had the same problem....fan sounded like a jet getting ready to take off!

There are several really good, quiet fans available....made by Panaflow, Pabst and Zalman just to name a few.

Look for good air flow (measured in CFM) and a low noise level (measured in DB).

Make sure you get the right size fan, as they come in several different sizes.

Good luck!

also, a fan making a loud droning sound that vibrates is a bad sign and must be replaced immediately, just to make sure, if this was the case...
