I'd guess you could find the DB figures for the Noctua at Noctua's site.

But.....published ratings are not particularly helpful to determine your satisfaction.

Differences of 3 or 4 DB may not even be perceptible in actual use.

2 fans rated at 40 db and spinning at the same RPM may be virtually indistinguishable from 1 such fan.

You may find that the characteristics of a specific fan model may be more annoying to you, even though "quieter".

Let alone variations between 2 fans of the same model.

Let alone fan speed....they are all a bit noisy as they creep above 1000 rpm.

Let alone the frequency response curves of your 2 ears.

Let alone that you may find that 7 fans is no "better" than 5.

I wouldn't get hung up on the spec sheets as a deciding factor. You'll have to hope and experiment a bit.

I've used the NH-D15 with a previous build and the noise was something I never noticed. Very quiet with good performance. Quite bulky which was the main reason I went AIO with the new build.

I use a D15S and various Noctua case fans, the noise level is fine to my ears.

i just ordered the arctic liquid freezer III 360 and 2x140mm silent wings pro 4 and 1 120. ill run the AIO fans at the top to exhaust and 2x 140 at front and 1x120 rear. i also have the noctua air cooler on the way too, if the AIO fans/pump is too loud for me ill swap and test the noctua air cooler out
