It's getting a bit warm.
"Strap another couple of fans on it - that'll sort it out.
Whaddya mean you've gone deaf?"

It's not a desktop, it's a rack-mounted server meant for a datacentre or comms room so they're not really designed to be whisper quiet. And, as has been pointed out, most server's fans come on full whack when you first turn them on and then they ease down to a normal level.

Our rack sounds like Heathrow during the patch/reboot cycle.

Seems ordinary
for a rack mounted server going full fan at startup. Now if it twisted under the torque reaction I would be interested.
Air cooled mainframes did made me a bit deaf after many years working with them. Univac used to build a computer around the largest 3-phase fan they could get.

Our server room is the only room in the building with A/C. When the temperature reaches the high thirties we close all the windows and open the server room. It's like woking in an aircraft hangar.
