I've always been obsessed with trying to make my PC as quiet as possible but I generally game with sound fairly loud so it probably doesn't matter that much it's just one of those things I always feel inclined to strive for. On the other hand if you've every had a PS4 in your house you could buy the loudest PC parts you can find and still have a quieter PC by comparison.

I have no reason to believe the situation has changed significantly, so I'm going to assume there are GPUs as loud as my GTX 970. It sounds like a vibrator (and not a quiet one, I would assume), and it has caused more than one debate with my significant other... On the other hand, my PS4 slim feels extremely quiet compared to this. The original fat PS4 was in another league though... But currently, the loudest piece of gaming equipment here is my GTX 970, and it will make me pay attention to noise levels when I'm getting as new one (which is as soon as GTX 3060 actually hits the market at a decent price). I don't personally even mind a bit of noise, but even I find this somewhat annoying.
