wanting lower fan setting for standard A/C

I purchased a 2012 MCS with the standard A/C. The lowest fan setting keeps the car cool here in Atlanta but I find it too loud/strong, especially with the radio off. Is there a may to modify the fan speed? Basically I think it needs a 0.5 setting.

You can try turning the vent position **** all the way to the right (windscreen, front and lower vents on.) Deflecting the air in those 3 directions should quiet the fan down and still deliver the same cooling capacity.

Get an exhaust system and lower the windows then the fan won't bother you.
