Antminer S5's: So loud!

Hey all, so I thought it would be a good idea to move my little operation out of my spare bedroom. I found a space at a warehouse with super cheap electric-mainly from the hydro power. So far, things look like they're working like they should be. The Antminer S3's are of course nice and quiet, and the space is ventilated alright. But I seriously underestimated how much noise 9 S5's make in a small space. It's SO LOUD. It probably would have been more tolerable in a larger space-like they originally showed me. But they found me a smaller office space right next to a 220V breaker-which made things way cheaper overall. It's in the middle of a bunch of (mostly) unoccupied offices, and you can hear it as soon as you enter the stairwell (it's located down a long hall past a common area after the stairs..)

I was thinking about messing with the fans or something...or maybe trying something with foam...but lets be honest-I have no idea what I'm doing. Does anyone have any ideas or had to deal with this before?
