    Fan noise reduction comes from speeding up the fan at higher temperatures (middle speed threshold temperature is 49 C with the new BIOS). So the reduced noise comes for the price of increased temperature. They timed the change well - the colder season is about to begin, and with less power wasted on the fan, the AAO can keep me warmer for longer time :)
