Good news! You'll appreciate the noisy fan when your 250EX doesn't blow it's guts out the back after a couple years. Also it makes an awesome gas saver: get in the habit of turning off the gas bottle valve when you turn off the welder.
Fun fact: There's a part used in practically all electronic devices which has a very finite lifespan. The part's lifespan decreases by a factor of 2 for each 10degC rise in temperature. And if the welder isn't on, the part will be significantly cooler.

Perfect solution!If you play your cards right you can protect your ears while grinding too.

I hold just enough of a tight arc that, as the filler is added and the puddle rises and gets too close, you "hear" the crackle start. So, there's that change in sound with each time you add. Kinda makes me feel in tune with what's going on. I'll wear plugs with high frequency (especially when reflected out of a corner) but don't want to be so isolated from what those sounds are
