am upgrading my fans and am wondering how loud it will be, if i have nine fans, running at 36 dba each. i would also like to know how loud it would be to have nine fans running at 22 dba and also 19 dba each.
 
Fan ratings can't be trusted. You have to tell us exactly what fans they are.
 
I looked around on SPCR for an answer and found it:

Note: do NOT stop reading at the beginning of the post; the 3db rule does not apply to quiet noise like fans and the reasons why it doesn't is what the whole post is about.

The answer to your question isn't simple. The more fans you have, the more quietly you can move the same amount of air.
 
i was gonna get nine of one of these fans
