Not sure why but I think my h220 is being rather loud. Someone told me it was a silent cooler but it's really loud without a headset on. I'm currently running at 4.7Ghz @ 1.32V i7 4930k, and it only gets super loud when I overclock it.

Here's a link to the sound file: zippyshare


I used my iPhone and it was next to radiator. The h220 is instaleld on a corsair 520 on the top, with the fans facing out. Is this normal or do I have some sort of problem?
 
Try using a fan controller and temperature monitor like smcFanControl or SpeedFan. You may have a faulty temperature sensor though. A fan controller would allow you to slow the fan down if it is unnecessary.
