If you liked that article, you'll love this one.
The problem is that he measured the fans @ 1 inch instead of 1 meter. His SLM was only sensitive to 35db so i he had to move much closer to get a reading.
That poses many problems.
First @1in the slm was creating air turbulence, so it doesnt surprise me that the panaflo which creates a long narrow vortex of air did so bad.
Secondly, 1in is too close for accurate measurements. Theres a 3db difference between 1/2in and 1in. Theres not much of a difference Between 1 meter and 1.0254 meters.
Thirdly, Nobody sits 1in away from their computer, 1 meter is much more common and would alow easy compariosns with your ambient noise.
Last, the directron.com model did well, hmmm
