The good news is that high-pitched noise is the easiest to block out via a server-closet. It is mostly blocked by even a panel door. Any low-pitched noise is hardest to eliminate since it is transmitted as vibration. The key here is to isolate the vibration. Using an equipment rack helps but there could be transmission via the floor. Hanging everything via the nylon straps that you will find in the plumbing/AC section of the hardware store is by far the best way to eliminate transmission of vibration.
