Chances of finding a PoE switch that is quiet out of the box is about as 
good as finding a government 'worker'.  It's kind of an oxymoron.

Of the switches I've used, the Linksys/Cisco line was the loudest. 
Dlink's were quieter, but still not something you'd want sitting next to 
a desk.  About the only fanless PoE switches I've seen are the smaller 
Netgear's, but they are not Gigabit.
