Default Ideas to silence an AC ?

Hi all,

Just bought a new AC, a 2003 model Frigidaire, 10'000 btu,
thru-the-wall. Paid $500 for it, with taxes and all, and thought I'd get
a decent device for that dough. Especially since it only had rotary
controls, all the money would go into quality parts, right?

Well, I installed it, plugged it in and turned it on, and my first
thought was DAMN, is that thing loud! Even at the lowest setting, there
is no listening to music or having an otherwise nice evening. I'm quite
dissappointed.

Seriously, is this normal? The device doesn't sound defective, it's just
mainly the fan. If I bought crap (excuse my French), please tell me.

Otherwise, if this is somewhat normal, does anybody have ideas to
silence that thing? I'd love to somehow lower the fan speed ...
