Depends on how long and how noisy.

As I've gotten older, I find loud noise in general is less tolerable,
so I've taken to always keeping a pair of earplugs with me.  It makes
being around loud music, etc., much more enjoyable.

Long term exposure to noise is widely considered to be a hazard, but
walking into an average data center for an hour once a month is
probably not that risky.
