Might I had to joe post that most big iron server are in server rooms, where the climatisation system is more noisy than the server itself....
(dell from 1650 to 6550, compaq san, storatek wolfcreek, ibm p390, ibm as400 of many size, sun enterpise 220r to enterprise 6500, they were all less noisy than the climastisation system, even the 6500 that was in another room since the climatisation system was from the floor like most server room)
So even if they cool there server with redundant noisy fan, it doesn't matter at all since no one is in the server room to ear it.
I had a Dell 2450 and 2550 rack mount 2u server with 1 p3 on the first and 2 p3 tualatin on the second. They were noisy, really noisy, but still we were using them in the server room because noise isn't really a factor there.
