Basically title, but how loud are the ap700 fans? Quiet? Silent? Dead silent? Any input is appreciated

They're pretty quiet. I don't have a spec, but the ones I've run at home are always the quietest part of it. I hear the water flow more than anything else. If you can hear the lamp more than 6' away, there might be something wrong.

Hope that helps out!

Quiet, I think they turn on based on heat sink temperature.

any idea at what temp? or what percentage? like if theyre at 30% will the fans kick on at all?
The fans on the AP700 are not a variable fan. They'll begin running when the lamp turns on - let us know if there's anything else we can help with.
