Forget about jet engines. This thing probably sounds more like a helicopter at close range! The ironic part of this is that it could actually lead to power supply issues, which can be just as bad...
Luckily you can get this fractal case with sound damping side panels! It probably sounds like a helicopter in a subway tunnel below you with the panels on.
For shits amd giggles, I put a couple of industrial 10W fans in my PC once. That probably still made more noise than this. It also created so much overpressure that I could feel air escaping the tower from every little hole or crack. You could hold a piece of paper to the side of the pc, and see it moving because of the air escaping between the side panel and the main hull.
But if these are normal fans (max maybe 1,5W), then the amount of power drawn will be the same as a couple of hardrives.
