Really?  My MP is relatively loud -- I can hear the fans or drives or something 
in the next room.  But when sitting right next to it I have tuned it out and 
don't really notice it unless I think about it.

The fans are low RPM noise --- not PC type fan noise.  Kind of a lowish rumble.

Comparatively it is quiet but not at all like a mini or anything that really is 
pretty dead quiet most of the 
time._______________________________________________
