are all power conditioners noisy?


I just received a powervar, and I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but this stonkin' big transformer hums!
I've read reviews where they complain abount the amount of fan noise in some companies products.
To me, the power conditioner adding background noise- even though it's not coming out of the speaker, is very distracting.
Is there such a thing as a silent power conditioner, or should I just give up?

If you don't need electrical storm protection, the Mapleshade Records (home of guru Pierre Sprey) top model power strip actually acts as well, often better, than many traditional power conditioners. It just looks so homebrew despite helping a system very much.
Aside from that, my own [never-opened to tighten] Powervar is dead silent in another location where it is used.
