The noise is probably the result of trying to make the whole unit too 
compact.  Air noise is a result of air velocity.  When one tries to use the 
smallest possible fan and a tight enclosure, the resulting air velocity will 
almost always produce a noisy product.  Make it a little larger, and the 
same cooling can be accomplished with very little noise.
