My home brew weather/air quality station is seemingly totally silent, though the PM sensor does have a fan. I've never heard it. https://partofthething.com/tho

    Not really. I did do enough work to be able to read count rate from a ESP8266 [1] but never actually installed it in the weather station. Since then, I got a scintillator detector [2] with a USB soundcard interface which would be way better for a weather station since it could actually identify isotopes in addition to count rate. So you could get alerts like "oh dang, I-131 detected in the air, take shelter."
