That's the reason why I only use the most silent fans I can find.
Unfortunately that's not possible with a Diamond hot end because it needs seriously high air flow blowing over the 3 heat sinks. It's hard enough find a fan with sufficient air flow, let alone trying to find one that's quiet. The 5 colour is even worse.
Hence the reason that thing I'm working on (but which shall remain nameless), is water cooled.

Phones can be EVIL! I still love my Note 8 tho' ...

That's an interesting approach on the hotend. I like the thought, stealing it with a little mod.

Now you're talking SERIOUS mods. E3D's Aqua had me looking hard. But first I need to build an enclosure which isn't practical in my current location. Diamond HE, eh? Do you get a lot of clogs? That fan must sound like a 747!

I'm with you, I have 40mm Noctua on my hotend.
On my previous CR-10S control box I pulled all the fans (they had 3) replaced the bottom panel with a 120mm Noctua. It was virtually silent with 3x the cooling.
Still working out the mounting on my Maestro, it's currently breadboard stage ... -

No clogs now but that's after a lot of work re-designing fan ducts and increasing the fan size from 50mm to 60mm in order to get the requisite air flow. 27 cfm is sufficient and the current fan I use for that is rated at 39dBa so not too bad. During my experiments, I had one fan that was rated at 66dBa. That one sounded like Concord (much louder than 747)
