Replace fans for more silent ones

Hi,

as the fans in the Sovol Zero are quite noisy: Did anyone try to replace them with quiet ones, e.g. Noctua fans?

That box lauder that my vacuum))) Also can produce airflow comparable to it if glass-door are opened. I moved it to balcony, on farther corner of table, and using it with closed balcony PVC doors. That way i can not hear it and almost forgetting that it prints, which it does really fast and good)))
I don’t think that changing coolers with help a lot..

other then the main chamber exhaust a lot of the noise will be coming from the motors not just the fans i found that the motors noise is better at traveling over the fans other the the chamber exhaust fan. the chamber fan has a filter design that will help with the noise or you could design a baffle system for it.

Not sure what I’m offering will help, but here goes,
My SV06Plus at first was VERY noisy, most notable was the power supply fan. I printed a new shroud for it but the noise reduction was minimal.
I replaced the stock fan with a 12 volt but higher CFM fan using a buck converter to drop the stock 24 volts down to 12. I’m moving the same amount of air but at lower voltage and reduced fan noise by about 50%.
Made a huge difference!
