Is there anyway to measure the noise level my GPU (or pc) is making

[Yahia_EN]

I'm going to buy an Asus GTX 1060 Turbo TODAY! And I've seen people complain about the noise a lot and how it's like a jet engine. But I don't know if I can tolerate the noise level it'll make or not and don't want to regret getting it. That's why I wanted to measure the noise level my current laptop is making. It's pretty loud at times but when I crank the volume up I can't hear it.
So is there anyway to measure the noise level my GPU is making and compare it with the Gtx 1060 Turbo?
I'd really appreciate a quick response as I'm REALLY in a hurry

Use Digital Sound Level meter, buy it off amazon. And project it towards cpu when it is running note the decibel it emits use it on GTX 1060 then

You know you can't use it in the laptop?

sound is so subjective, pitch makes a huge difference

Yeah I know sound is very subjective but with fan noises, I don't think it is so much?

a laptop fan is a lot smaller than a GPU fan, hence a lot higher pitched. It also depends on your PC case, how well damped is it? How good is the airflow, good airflow, lots of fresh air for it work with, and it'll be cooler.

Have access to a smart phone? Many free sound level applications available.

I tried an android app called sound meter and I get around 50-60 db when I put it right next to where my laptop fan is.
This doesn't matter anymore as I'm going to put in 20$ more for an MSI GTX 1060 Armor OCV1 instead of the Asus Turbo.
Thoughts on the GPU?
