u shall be disappointed at how loud they are
Here are a few things to help quiet it down (I am still in the process of building mine....

1) Use a single pole dimmer light switch on the fan motor. This will allow to to slow the fan down and be come pretty quiet.

2) Use 1" x 1/4" foam tape on all edges were the extrenal case meets the inside frame. This should get rid of any rattles.

3) insulate the inside of the case on the compressor/fan side to absorb noise

4) put the thing under you desk with the air flowing away from you.

With these mods, I am hoping for ~30 to 35db's.
