Ah yes, these fans may get loud, but they are nothing like an office back in the day full of hackers on ASR-33 Teletypes!
Each one had a noisy keyboard and a noisy printer. The keyboard didn't have a nice click like a modern keyboard, more of a loud scrunchy sound. The printer was even louder and rang a bell if you had a line too long.
You could always tell when the mainframe crashed. Everyone's Teletype printer stopped all at once, and everyone started mashing down every key on their keyboard out of frustration.
