It depends on the model, some have 1 big fan that draws all the air through the CPU cooler and these tend to have big 120mm fans which are quite quiet, but then there's others with a standard CPU fan and a fan on the back which are obviously smaller and can be a bit whiney, are you intending to run this server headless or will it have a monitor/mouse/keyboard?
