775pro motors are LOUD

We are excited and impressed about the size and power of these new motors. However, (for us at least) they run very loudly. We believe that the sound comes from the fan running at 18700 RPM. What are your experiences with the 775pro?

The sound doesn't stop us from loving the power, but imagine 6 robots on the field all running 775pros! Depending on the venue, the sound might be slightly deafening for those near the field (drive team, volunteers, etc).

I guess it could be a good PR thing for robots to have loud mechanical noises and attract attention. What do you think?
