NUC has active cooling. A small fan which spins without sound most of time, but can be heard during heavy usage.

is that the same for all nucs? eg the lower end ones dont generate as much heat so they dont require it

Yes, certain Celeron NUC are passively cooled.

Since, you wouldn't be pushing the NUC with AAA games, its unlikely that you will ever hear the fan. Although, encoding A/V can make it loud.
