Looking at a case (HAF 932)

All I've been seeing about the HAF 932 is good news. The amount of airflow going into it looks astounding, and the cable management looks pretty superb. I'm just wondering how much noise it puts out, though. My current case, Antec P180 with some Yate Loon medium speed fans, is not very loud at all. The noise is noticeable, but not disturbing or annoying. Since the HAF 932 uses larger fans it looks like, it seems like it will produce more airflow with about the same noise as my current setup.

Also, are you able to turn off the LED light on the front like on the HAF922 with a switch?
 
Bought a HAF recently, and I definitely love it. Not the best looking case, but I don't really care about looks. It's not loud at all, very quiet like you said with the large fans. Only problem I've found is that it does build up dust without any filters, but not a huge problem. Oh and no, you cant turn off the front LED with a switch.
 
Also using a HAF and my system is near silent (with front and top fan active.) A great case, all around.

Everything what is created by components, acoustically it's like that non existing wall between you and your neighbour.

Case fans are only part of the noise, CPU and GPU coolers produce their own noise which leaks directly out. Also to worsen noise leaking instead of soft mounting HDD are plastic mounted.
You can probably simulate it quite accurately by taking side panels away and taking HDD out of its soft mounting and putting it to bottom of case with hard contact to case.
