Think Your CPU Cooler is Loud?

I made a fun little video yesterday that and I think you guys will enjoy this and get a laugh out of it. We just posted up a 6-way Intel Core i7 CPU cooler roundup and I saw the term loud being used... Far too many people call their CPU cooler loud... They don't know loud unless they've used one of these:

Forum member hnzw_rui had this to say after seeing the video: "That Delta screamer sounds louder than my vacuum cleaner. A nice-looking slim case I bought came with a Delta 80mm fan. Moved a lot of air, but the darned thing sounded like a freakin' jet engine and the computer is in my bedroom. Replaced it with an Enermax Marathon 80mm with magnetic bearing. Temps increased by 8~10C, but the only noise it makes is the whooshing of air and that was inaudible from the bed."
