as title/poll. myself, the nosiest thing in my computer is the fan on my mobo. I have a [urDFI lanparty SLI DR model, and it's bridge fan is a nifty thing that works through maglev. pretty neat, and it doesn't vibrate, but it whines somewhat (a sort of high pitched "whoooooooosh" sound). just the air flowing though it I guess, but it irritated me when I had the fan's controller on auto, which caused the fan to speed up or slow depending on the bridge's temperature, causing the "whooo" sound to modulate in frequency getting on my tits.
nowadays I have the thing on constant RPM, which is considereably less mindbogglingly irritating, but I can still hear it.
Given that the mobo is/was an overclocker's wet dream and is built for performance, the sound of the fan justifiably came somewhat lower on the list of priorities, but it's still a niggle. the rest of the stuff; cpu cooler, disks, casefans, PSU, I hear them not
