They're not the quietest, but in the bios you can turn the fans down to quiet mode, which is fine as long as the servers are in an air conditioned server room.
Temps stay low, fans last longer, servers are a lot quieter and your sanity remains in check ;-)
Beware the DL320's though. They need an HP service pack for linux to force the fans to normal operation after boot (when they switch to high mode for 10 seconds).
They howl like banshee's unless the patch is applied.

Kinda an aside, are your 360s really loud? People in my group call them "the howlers". They make more noise than much larger boxes. I put in two (not for firewalls), and they both sound exactly the same so I am sure it's not a bad fan. I was considering them for platforms for my next FW upgrade, but I am not sure I want that much more noise in my server room.
just wondering.
