Wow. It is really loud. The fans are super loud. Maby with the cover on it will be better?
WD-40 I'm sure would fix the noisy fans, my Fantom Drives case fan grinds and WD-40 fixed it.
No, it is not the bearings. Just the ammount of air. tons and tons of it. Hi Velocity too.

Oh yes, I remember those boxes. They sound like planes about to take off. Still, great server rackmounts.
WD-40 is not a lubricant, it's a degreaser. Great for clearing gunk out of the bearing race, not great for long-term protection. After a few days of use, follow up with a drop of sewing machine oil.
You should see an IBM BladeCenter H with the fans at full speed. You can feel the blast from 10' away.
I spilt some water on my shirt once at work. So I just reset the management module so the fans would go to full speed and stood behind the BladeCenter. My shirt was dry in about 30 seconds.

bladecenter sounds rather ominous
Damn! I want that. For some reason, BIG sound = Big Power in my eyes. Dang, I would LOVE to have my box sound like a vacuum again. My last PC was like that and I want that sound back! Especially when I got a dually core under the hood of this machine. It almost sounds like a mini-supercomputer
