Jesus! What are you running that makes that much noise? I have two HP DL360p gen8's (older 1u units with LOUD fans when they get going) and a custom built gaming server in a rack at the end of my bed. Together they're sometimes a bit annoyingly loud when they're hard at work, but with the door closed you can barely hear them. I can't imagine a single server so loud that neighbors could hear it from a basement. You got a supercomputer in there or something?

1U servers tend to have loud fans regardless of age. Small fans that spin very quickly (to get decent airflow) will do that. They're also designed for use in data centers where noise is less of a concern.

Sometimes you can replace server fans with Noctua fans, but the small Noctua fans generally have less airflow than the stock ones (usually made by Delta) so you'd have to check they'd be sufficient for your use case.

Oh, I know it. Thankfully the noise is only bad during initial boot (which seldom happens) or if they're really kicked into high gear.
