Which monitor connector should I use? HDMI (not 2.1) or DisplayPort?

The user of the computer has hyperacusis. It is a disorder that causes extremely sensitive hearing. That is why I want minimal fan noise. A little bit of additional fan noise would be acceptable if the picture quality was better.
Maybe use headphones with ANC ?

DP is for gamer.
HDMI is for home entertainment.
So, your choice should be HDMI.
Interesting logic. Or is it a joke?
Aside from the specs of different versions of HDMI and DP, there is no functional difference.
