We take our noise measurements with the sound meter positioned 1 foot from the graphics card. I measured the noise floor to be 32 dBA, thus anything above this level can be attributed to the graphics cards. The power supply is passive for the entire power output range we tested all graphics cards in, while all CPU and system fans were disabled. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

As for noise levels, the chart tells the whole story. The AMP Extreme Holo is clearly having to work its fans that much harder than the competition to deal with its higher power target. The Amplify BIOS for instance, saw the fans run at 82%, or 2090rpm, producing 47dBa. Even the Quiet BIOS isn't that quiet, with the fans ramping up to 77%, or 1890rpm. If you value silence, AMP Extreme Holo isn't going to be your number one pick.
