So far the fan on the Sonnet is louder than the iMac Pro (which, so far, has been dead silent), but I have not yet pushed the iMac Pro.
One thing that made me smile was how quickly all the installers ran and how quickly applications launch -- I don't know if that is due to the SSD's speed or just the overall system's performance, but compared to my experiences with my 5 year old PC, this thing is zippy.
I'll report back in the next few days.

You can swap in a quiet aftermarket fan on the Sonnet echo SEII box, such as a silenx brand. I sold my SEII a few years ago, but iirc they use one 80mm fan.
