How loud does a computer fan get when running at 100% fan, with a high pitch almost like a drill, in your experience?

I've just tested with a sound meter app on my phone; granted this isn't the most accurate way of doing it.

Silent in my room: 30db

Fan on while running and GPU is activated: max 90db.

I wish a computer manufacturer could guarantee what you're saying, because I could get a letter from my ENT doctor, take precise measurement; and sue the manufacturers for damaging my hearing.

Your computer fan is as loud as a lawn mower? You can't have a conversation in your room while your fan is running? What?
