These mining farms can be very loud. Liquid cooling (immersion cooling) helps but you still have to cool the liquid. The biggest noise is the volume of air needed for cooling. Think about a box fan on high, then multiply it by hundreds. There are some "silencers" they can put in the air intake/exhausts, but I don't know how effective they are. To the best of my knowledge there are no silent farms, miners are a business and profit is what matters most. Some businesses care more about their neighbors than others. I've heard a lot of mining farms are Chinese owned, I have not researched this. Might want to investigate the company first.
