Heh. While rack servers do tend to be pretty noisy out of the box in that particular one I've built some custom fan control relays to keep the noise down, it's a lot quieter than you'd expect. Nothing like the server rooms they are normally used in, where providing hearing protection for employees is a mandatory health and safety requirement...

That said my desktop has one of the noisiest graphics cards on the market today and boy does that thing make a racket... I'm sure my portable vacuum is quieter (and probably has less airflow too!)
