Honest question. I see quite a bit of posts of people running their homelab with their big server racks in their own room, probably where they sleep (or just work) in too. How do you live with the noise?

I couldn‘t imagine sleeping next to even just a running PC (which is basically what my entire homelab is as of right now, just an SFF and then a fanless thin client running in a small storage room in my apartment).

And would your big amount of servers also not just heat up your room and pump the electricity bill? I only run one desktop PC, not even 24/7, and I‘m worried about power bill costs.
