Maybe. 

Have you figured out what you want to accomplish? 

For example, my office machine was making too much noise for my 
liking. Here's what I did: 

- I repositioned it so that the exhaust fan bounced air off the 
  wall at an angle, not straight-on. 

- I moved it off to the side, about four feet away from me. 

- I tightened all the internal screws. 

- I made sure the case was fastened snugly. 

- I put a piece of soft foam (about 1/8" thick) under the rear 
  feet. 

Now it's much quieter. None of this cost me any money, or even 
much time. 

I also found a stand to put it under my desk, which made it much 
quieter from where I sit, but was slightly annoying.
