What happens at football stadiums then.......
That is a blatant lie. I also have 2 shroud cooled 5770's and they are very, very loud when running at above 60% fan. Either you have very low expectations or you are deaf. I'm not sure what inspired you to talk such rubbish. I would go with an egg cooler now if I could.
Question: My new 5770 has been giving hard freezes and "driver has stopped responding" errors when I play demanding games or run benchies at stock clocks, yet when I OC it to 900/1295 it runs pretty much fine with only the odd driver fail message. What's causing this and how can I fix it?

Alfie... not wanting to cause an argument and i only have one 5770 myself and i can't hear it. The only time it is auidable is when the pc first boots for a second or two then you can't hear it. Why do you need to run your fan at above 60%..? Mine is stock at 35% with a idle temp of 37oC. OK i see you have two, but i can't see the need even with two, to run at 60%..?
I have no definitave answer to that, but i have seen others advise to run the pcie frequency in the bios to 101..?. Have a search and i'm sure you will find a post about it.
Lots of overpaid girls get paid way too much to kick around a ball whilst thousands of yobbos watch them do it.
Hardly a good analogy.
Fair play. It's probably because the rest of my system is silent and I have 2 that it's loud. I had a GTX 280 before which was quieter than a single 5770, even at 100% fan speed!
Just upped voltage to 1.0V with amd gpu clock tool and all is sorted. Sweetness!
EDIT: turns out 1V is lower than stock, and problem isn't fixed anyway regardless. Grrrr
EDIT 2! lowered voltage all the way down to .95 and all is well so far. Strange

That's odd, the GTX 280 I had (zotac) was much MUCH louder as the fan had to spin much faster under load.
Mine only need to reach 59-60% at most.
I use Auto fan, as there's no need to be an armchair thermal engineer, you'll only drive yourself nuts.
Fans only kick up under Furmark at 75C +, but under normal gaming never kick up at all.
Why would anybody but a fool put their fans at 60% for constant use?
It was said your system is only as loud as your loudest component. I was making the point this is not how sound accumulation works.
On a side note my Case is an Antec 900 with fans set to low and a Corsair H50 cooler. Its not very noisy full stop.

No alfie you are right, people with xfire and v1 are full of it if they say there quite. The simple reason is the air flow to the top card is resricted in most cases running in xfire 10c higher so the fan will kick in to cool it hence why it so loud and goes over 60% fan speed. Dont get me wrong there not ear shattering but they do not fall in to my 5770 are quite. Running 1 5770 should be fairly quite as there is plenty of air around it and the fan should be under 50%. Not had the v2 so cant comment on them but they should make far less noise

The cards shut down at 125c and 90c is when the warning sensors go off the information is from Asus it was on the smartdoctor info. of course cooler the better really
For me personally, the noise of 2 shroud cooled 5770's at any fan speed above 50% is too loud and I have a sound proofed case. People have different expectations, that's a fact.
I have my cards overclocked to a rather modest 930/1400 and the fans max out at around 57% which is way louder than an XBOX 360 which is too bloomin loud for a living area!
I think you have to agree that when a fan is too loud at 60% it is a bad thing for overclockers as you can't take advantage of the cooling without cutting your head off with noise induced stress.
