Default Which Power Conditioner is Quieter?

Which has quieter operation for the studio, Monster or APC supplies?

My Monster conditioner is absolutely silent - probably because it has no fans. I am not currently at home but I believe it is this model:

Yah, I looked at that model (yours is the 1U model, right?) I think that Monster probably has quiet operation because they're making them specifically with the studio in mind. Thanks. I read about APC's today, but I can't find any info as to if they're quiet enough for the one-room studio.

I'm looking at getting the PRO3500 or PRO5100 (2U) units. Do you have any info that says that these larger units have fans running and are louder? Thanks,

Steve

The only time my Furman AR-15 makes any noise is when it's compensating for voltage changes, which is very rare:

It's rock solid.
