Not necessarily so. I use a big case (Fractal Design R series), with 4 * 140mm fan. The case has thick noise insulation, and the big fans turn (always) very slowly (500rpm, just above stalling) so it's completely inaudible.

A lot better that the tiny fan of a laptop that drives everyone around crazy as soon as you move the mouse :-)
