My STB makes some noise, I can easily hear its hard disk spin. Even the receiver will emit a whine now and then. But these things are only audible when no media is playing, so I don't really mind. My main pc is quite loud because of fan noise, but I'm guessing the NUC fan even at full load will be nothing like that. I'd be more concerned about dust buildup and having to clean it periodically.
