Now you can buy the Noctua NH-L12 on Amazon Germany and US. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007C861WO/?tag=theminutiae-20
They're generally nosier if the rad is placed below the pump/block height, due to microbubbles formed while transporting the product from the warehouse to your address
I wouldn't think of it as an increase in Db but the addition of a separate, distinct noise (bubbles gurgling)

I see. I did notice this once in a while when i was using a Phanteks Evole Shift case. Had a H80v2 mounted at the bottom. Now i know why.
Will it affect temps?
Should't hurt temps, though I would probably just test your planned config + a flipped version
It will be good idea to test also Thermolab LP53 with new Noctua expands 5V fan line-up

Is there any way to get in on this case after the fact? This thing is amazing! I'm ready to take someone's spot LOL! I've email and messaged on Facebook. I'm determined to get this case. I love the modularity of it.

I wish, they are sold out on there web site. They supposedly are going to ship this batch by the end of August (I doubt it, they will probably be delayed again...)
My plan is to get in on the next batch.
You'll have to join the mailing list with the rest of us and pray for a potential space!
Interesting, I've never heard of this. If true it does make sense though, since the bubbles would float up to the pump, while they would instead end up in the radiator if the radiator is placed above.
What would be the cause of these bubbles forming during transit, and why wouldn't they re-dissolve into the coolant after a while anyway?
You're following the logic.
Some will redissolve, and but likely not all. I'm not super down with the physics of it all, but someone a long time ago told me the bubbles form due to pressure changes (assuming cargo is travelling over air, I guess) but many of those bubbles won't reabsorb again unless they can be moved into an area that has less turbulence (AKA a pocket of air in the radiator, rather than inside the pump area).
Definitely happy to be corrected if someone has better ideas. I've noticed that AIOs installed on the floor tend to be louder in my own experience, but i've never really questioned the rationale for it...

Get the new NF-A 12's. They are amazing fans! Just put them on my AIO. Completely silent at 1000rpm and still low noise at 1500rpm.
Sounds perfectly reasonable, and as you say air transport is the most likely culprit.
But that also implies that the problem may be fixable, by initially running the AIO with the radiator above the pump for a while to allow as much of the bubbles as possible to redissolve, before finally mounting the radiator below. Would be interesting to test.
There will be some trapped gasses in any fluid*, and to some extent some free gas within the loop helps with temperature and pressure compensation (easier to squash a gas pocket than try and stretch the tubing itself, which may result in fittings loosening).
* Unless you perform degassing (like ultrasonic or vacuum) and keep it in a sealed container until filling a sealed system, and your sealed system never has any leaks or porosity. So basically never in any practical system not using aerospace-grade parts and with an explicit pre/post-purge filling sequence.
