The other kind of server is sold both in "tower" and rack form factor;
I personally do not consider these tower machines put sideways rackmount servers. Such tower machine is usually not designed to works in the server room (where cost per square foot of floor space per Month is consideration), a bunch of machines like that can be replaced by single real rackmount server, the last usually would be much more robust and durable as they are designed to work more stressed. Of course, server room full of tower machines would be quieter, but that one I would rather describe as room full of servers instead of server room (should use the word desktops or workstations not servers for the former).
I should have added "rant" tags... I have mild excuse though: I do have my share of trouble from these put on the side towers (chosen by somebody else) in my server room.

they are bigger the airflow is forced by bigger fans that can turn to a lower speed to exchange the heat.
If the noise is produced by the rack fans, use, as someone else suggested, variable speed fans regulated by a temperature sensor.
In essence, you can greatly lower the noise "by design", but if you already have the equipment it can be too late.

not totally true.
there is a very easy way to change fix to variable speed. BTDT.
