Tom: Assuming you have normal hearing, if you want to hear how noisy your
fan is, take it off and run without it for a while.
I was able to do this while stationed in England (someone told me I could
gain as much as 10 HP by removing it). As long as I was able to attain 40
MPH, enough cool air passed through the radiator to avoid overheating even
without a fan installed.
that's not possible here in California in the Sacramento Valley area, of
course.
I eventually installed a Hayden 7 bladed (metal) flex fan. It is noisy but
it pulls gobs of air.
Bob may have been joking but, from experience, have you had your hearing
tested lately? I didn't realize how many sounds I was missing until I got
my hearing aids.
