Having a hard time finding any publication on recommended fan settings. It appears out of the box it runs without fan until hot and then full speed until cool. When on full speed the fan is considerably more audible than Gen4s. Is there any guidance on settings to force fan to run continually or more often at a lower speed to reduce noice? Maybe ultimately a Mobius option to optimize for noise?

AJ I cant say for certain but the fan is most likely louder than it is supposed to be. My fans going from being whisper quiet to pretty loud multiple times a day. Also they intermittently have an annoying rattle that is pretty rare but I have heard it on both of my 30s.

Same scenario here. Them seem to run at the same noise/speed regardless of settings. They seem to run about 60-70% of the time at 70% intensity and 72 degrees room temp.
 
Yep, can’t distinguish any difference in audible noise or on/off times on any of the settings. Wondering if the setting even does anything currently.
I never tried to adjust them maybe it's not operable.
