Maybe you do have a loud fan, because with any good ambient noise going on,
on my 85 Weekender if the fan is on low speed, it's not especially
noticeable. Like  hard to tell almost.
2nd speed is easier, and you can even feel the vibration sometimes,
and I believe those later syncro's with AC have 3 speeds, and they really do
roar on 3rd ( afterburner ) speed.

Subject: LED to tell when fan is on.

Neil, perhaps you should have your hearing checked.  When my F111 simulator
fan comes on an LED is clearly superflous.  It is shall we say, very
noticeable.  Maybe I just have a loud fan though.
