These are switches intended mainly for rack mount operations, typically installed on top of the rack - where the cooling system has to move a lot of heat.
From my notes, probably on earlier GS748T models, such fans are in place:
Delta EFB0412VHD: 9000 RPM, 10.1 CFM, 33 dB (40x40x20mm), 1x
Delta EFB0412VHA: 8000 RPM, 9.5 CFM, 38 dB (40x40x10mm), 3x
This can't be silent. Almost certainly, there is some duty cycle regulation in place, doubt there is a full-off status, something like 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.
Not sure, there are no Temperature and Fan indications on the System Information page? In the earlier years, Netgear had implemented private MIBs NETGEAR-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB like https://www.circitor.fr/Mibs/Html/F/FASTPATH-BOXSERVICES-PRIVATE-MIB.php where Fans and Sensors tables are typically accessible.
This is an example taken from a recent MS510TXUP:
