No, fortunately the monitor doesn't have an active cooler/fan! (Unlike the Alienware, for example, which has a built-in fan!) That was also very important to me. I converted my current Asus Rog swift PG27UQ to water cooling because I was so annoyed by the fan! I'll never have a fan in a monitor again.

I think practically every PC is louder, unless it's one without a fan.
