Very.
I had one in my old Digital Audio. The noise it made was half the reason I sold the system.

I had one in a QS2001. I didn't really notice any increase in noise, but the QS is already pretty noisy. Unfortunately, the machine self destructed for other reasons after two days. I REALLY notice now how quiet it is with only my PB running!

Its so noisy that I wish I hadn't purchased it. I had to remove the two little fans that they give you and put on an 80mm fan. Its a lot quieter now but I voided the warrantly. I dont really care as I wont be purchasing from them again.

Are all the processor upgrades noisy, or is it just the higher speed dual processor ones like the Giga 1.8 dual?

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

I work in a server room all day, so when I come home I really don't notice the noise of the fans on the dual 1.8 I have in my Digital Audio... but I would warn you that the upgrade over-heats easily because it's a dual 1.4ghz overclocked to 1.8ghz. If you're like me you've got a lot of internal drives. I had to buy another fan to hack the poor airflow in my case.

I had one of thier 800mhz upgrades, and the fan on that was so noisy I ended up selling the machine to my wife's cousin on the cheap.

You sold a machine for less than it was worth to avoid replacing a $5 fan?

Have you heard of the Pratt and Whitney J58 turbojet used in the SR-71 Spyplane?
It's like that, only a bit quieter.

I've got a Maxtor U160 that will take half your life's hearing left in about a 1/2 hour.
