It depends how powerful the fans are, if they are 32dba or less then no, it won't be very loud. :)

Get some quiet NMB-brand or Panaflo fans. Not much airflow, but very little noise. I have some 21-db 22CFM NMB fans in my PC - from 3 feet away, you can't tell that they're on. Thing is, I have other fans than them - video, chipset, CPU (80mm, 41CFM), and 120mm intake - the CPU fan and 120mm intake are probably the main noise-producers. I still wouldn't call it a jet-engine though.
