As far as I know all POE switches are quite noisy, they need to cool the extra power consumed by the POE and hence they will run warmer than other switch. I know Cisco, 3COM, are very noisy but you can try other cheaper brand like levelone or other to see if they have fans inside the switch.

I need to put a 24 port Gig PoE switch into a small office - no computer room / rack etc. All CAT5 terminates near the owners desk (smart huh?). I want to put a PoE switch in place, with 24 ports and Gig speed. Everyone I've researched so far is LOUD... Anyone know of a quiet one?
