Considering my rack is about 2 metres behind me, I am impressed that my desktop PC is louder than it, combined, so, I try to keep silence in mind for my rack equipment. Though, in summer time (here in Australia) - the air conditioner itself is the loudest thing!

Grab some Mikrotiks and call it a day :) Cheap, work good enough for home usage, and not loud.
My neighbour is a network engineer, he offered me some used ciscos, but they were only 1GBe, which I already have :P
I will keep an eye out for when his workplace upgrade again in the future ;)
That's nice of him! Here's what I was thinking of(on the loud machines):

I have a few of these deployed and they have been good to me.
We will soon have 2.5Gbe (over fibre) Internet available at home but I do not think I will be able to take advantage!
As an aside, thank you so much for your involvement F.R.I.D.A.Y - I have used it for so many years and it is such a useful way to stay connected to HIVE :)
I have 300/40 at my apartment. I wish I could get fiber. The slow upload is just the worst. Backups starts and everything dies.
I currently have 1000/50 at home, it will be upgraded to 1000/100 by end of next week as part of network upgrades. Costs me $124AUD a month with a static IP.
Nice! I pay about $65 for mine. No planned network upgrades like that sadly. Just bill increases every year.
