I am not convinced that you verify the low speed fan functionality. You inferred a lower level sound and assume it is low speed fan coming on.

You can perform a easy test for the low speed fan by measuring the resistance WRT ground at the connector. Both high speed and low speed hot side should read like death short. If one is open, it is 99.99% the resistor has gone kaputt.
I'll measure the reisitance

Shine a flash light between the engine and the radiator. If the fan is spinning you will see it.
