1U noise levels

Can anyone tell me what their experience of noise levels are from the 1U units?

An office I worked in was using several of these units and I don't remember them being too bad but I bought one myself last week and sitting next to it I feel like I'm sitting in an aircraft.

I'm assuming the noise is down to the case fans (rather than the CPU fan), I haven't had the thing open yet but is it likely to be possible to replace the fans with silent running/low noise ones?

The 1U servers put out just as much heat as a 2U server.  Since they have less space, smaller and faster fans have to be used.  This causes them to be considerably louder than their 2U counterparts.
