how quiet are your fans on G75?

how quiet should the fans be on idle?

i ask because i just got a G75 and it's simply AWESOME in every way except there's a clear, sharp, "musical" humming tone from the fans all the time. one minute soft (CPU fan on, always), another minute loud (GPU fan also turns on, every minute). and it's driving me silly lol...can't read, write, think. i'm writing this on an old (quieter) lappy.
possibly unrelated, but there's also a small metal thing rolling around inside (more to the left/CPU side). something loose?

temps seem ok according to hwinfo64:
Idle: CPU 37 C, 2000 rpm constantly / GPU 37 C, cycling between off and 2000 rpm
Heavy load: CPU 68 C, 3000 rpm constantly / GPU 55 C, 2600 rpm constantly

fan filters were ok. rotating the laptop didn't help. didn't find any drivers/BIOS that turns fan off while idle. i don't know what else to try.
so i'm wondering is this normal? what do your laptops sound like? do people have silent fans? what's the noise distribution among ASUS users? (because i thought ASUS was famous for its quietness.) or does everyone have a little meditating guy under the keyboard humming? please help! thanks

I have the G75-vw. The fans are whisper quiet and hardly noticable when playing SWTOR.

I can slightly hear them blowing air but no humming whatsoever.

Mine are silent at idle/web browsing and then ramp up when playing games. Nothing to loud and sound normal.

My G53SX is a little louder. All the ASUS ROG machines since the G73JH have had excellent cooling systems, so you should not hear anything more than a little whirring noise at idle. Gaming is a different story, but that is due to the extra that all the hardware is generating. Those now-noisy fans are why ASUS notebooks don't over-heat while gaming, unlike so many laptops.
