i find mine to be very quiet. all i can hear is a constant whooshing if i put my ear close to the machine. if there is any ambient noise you will not hear the notebook.

It was definitely moving air at that point.

The palm rests of the Ferrari began to warm with the hottest parts of the Ferrari being the areas just under the 'Alt' and ‘Windows’ key. The Next hottest part is the left side of the laptop where the fan vents are.

The fans noise at idle speed it barely noticeable. You can hear it in a quiet room if there is nothing else making noise. At the second level you start to notice it and at full speed it sounds a little quieter than a desktop computer’s case fan. Over all the noise for me isn’t a problem.

I think I heard it (and my ears are fine). Of course, I have a/c, a fan, a kid on the phone, a wife who breathes, a TV, a dog, some gas, etc. I can't imagine this fan coming into play except maybe in a library. I'll get back to you if that should become relevant.
There's more if you take a look at the Acer section, but remember that it's all subjective..
