I just got a Seasonic 400w Platinum fanless (SS-400FL2), and there is a small amount of buzzing/electrical noise when the power supply is plugged in (but computer off).

PSU fan blows downwards, and the exhaust blows outwards. PSU fans never blow down. PSUs with bottom mounted fans blow up into the center of the PSU and then the air exits to the rear.
