You would have to conduct tests in order to find out...but does it really matter? You gonna change it? It is what it is. Personally, I have always complained about how much noise car fans have made, no matter what the ambient car noise was, I mean I really don't want to hear them, I just want their effect.
However, a car is a small space, fans make noise unless you have them quite a distance away or really insulate like crazy. So just crank the sound system up a bit and their noise will fade away. Alternatively, use the heated or cooled seats to get your effect and reduce the fan speed.
Hey my X5 was leaking water through the shark fin antenna
Should I have just said what does it matter, am I gonna change it?
Guess what, I complained and after 3 failed attempts and over 40 days in the shop, I’m getting a brand new X5 with more options
So yeah it’s a valid complaint when I compare it to the lower, and older model and it loses.
