Funny how the power consumption doesn't change....

Silent Eagle
1000 Silent Eagle

Rated voltage 12 V (DC)
Power consumption 1.44 W
Fan speed 1000 rpm
Airflow 11.4 CFM
Noise level 8.9 dB(A)
Dimensions (mm) 80 x 80 x 25
Connector universal

Silent Eagle 2000
Rated voltage 12 V (DC)
Power consumption 1.44 W
Fan speed 2000 rpm
Airflow 22.7 CFM
Noise level 17.8 dB(A)
Dimensions (mm) 80 x 80 x 25
Connector universal

1.6 in radius

1000 rpm = 16.67 rps

2*pi*1.6=10 inches

166.7 inches per second

13.9 feet per second, tip velocity

1.6 in radius

2000 rpm = 33.33 rps

2*pi*1.6=10 inches

333.3 inches per second

28.8 feet per second, tip velocity

I agree with Kach (did I say that?) that the velocity is pretty darn low and most likely will not have much effect on the noise.
