Single fan GTX1060

Depends. Blower style coolers can be louder than open coolers. A single fan has to spin faster to try and cool the card than several fans. My Hybrids are loud, hear them in the next room loud. But it comes down to priorities. 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

probably, but obviously only while the card is under heavy load.

Are they loud? For example Zotac single fan edition, is it loud as founders edition GPUs?

The Zotac Mini is really really loud

 

I think the MSI one is not as bad

I have an evga sc (single fan). With the default fan curve, its about as loud, maybe a bit quieter than my cpu under full load (Hyper 212 evo). This however allows the card to get up to 85C, which should be fine for most people, but I run F@H, so I have a very aggressive fan curve which keeps the temps down to about 68C, but runs the fan at ~90%, which definitely makes itself heard, and is audible around the corner.

The minis run hot. Hot means faster fan speed which means more noise.

Or its a trade off as I said above. If the cooler is half decent it will keep card within safe temps (albeit a bit toasty), while being somewhat quiet. If you want to get the temps down below that, however, then yes, the cooler will get loud.

 

OP: If you don't really need a short card, just spend the extra $10-20 and get a double fan cooler, its worth it.
