    I replaced my fan clutch with the torqflo model last month and its much louder than before. I got used to it after a couple weeks and I'm happy that it keeps my engine cool. I think mine is getting quieter but it may just be in my head

    There's a possibility that the fan clutch is faulty and never disengages. I doubt it but you can check by rotating the fan blade when the engine is cold. If it doesn't rotate, then the fan clutch is locked up and is faulty.

    The Hayden I purchased is quiet and not loud to my hearing (in fact I cannot tell the difference between the stock I replaced with the Hayden at 139k). I guess we need to put a Torqflo and a Hayden side by side and compare db's......
