FI 6248 Loud Fans?

[mjensen323]

I installed new 6248 FI's today, they came loaded with version 2.1 I noticed they were extremely loud, actually louder than 3 other complete racks of gear. I read on a couple of threads about updating the version, so I jumped up to 2.2 and they decreased a little bit. But wow. They are super loud. Anyone have a fix or way to decrease it? I have a 5 ton bard a/c unit that keeps the room very cold, and there is 1U empty around each FI in an open rack, so I know it's not obstructed or an ambient issue. Thanks in advance.
