  I have a small 10 HP air compressor I bought from
a friend a few years

 yearly, where I blow as much dust as I can out of the fans.   While I
 haven't done any real measurements, I think this cuts the noise down
 to half its previous level (and stays down for a few months).
 (Perhaps if I did this every day, I'd get to those negative decibel
 levels!)  Then again, I'm probably just compensating for my
 chain-smoking of filterless cigarettes and my steadfast refusal to
 vacuum the carpet. 
 blick... Do you also have eighteen indoor cats?
 
 
<laughs> no, but i probably would if i could.  ('cept for the indoor
part.  back yards also make wonderful litterboxes.)  i do have two
equally unhealthy housemates.
