Honestly only 100 servers are multiple of orders of magnitude louder than this.

I can't even hear myself think in a normal datacenter with 20 racks; if a bunch of them are starting up or are fully loaded then: no chance.

I don't think servers are quieter with GPUs in them.

I'd like this but with pleasant sounds

just search for ambient noise generator, there are bunch of them

The iPhone comes with a bunch built in.

Thanks! That page also refers to some Apple Musix playlists that are excellent for sleep, relaxation, focus.

The noise in a server room is quite pleasant for me. It's loud, but in a soothing way I can't really describe.

I'm a fan of pink noise, which has a distribution of frequency/power that is closer to a lot of natural sources, like the sound of a waterfall.

It's only a guess that we're biologically primed to find it more comfortable, but I think it's a pretty good guess.
