Yep, it's true, and very very common. Sounds like an airplane taking off, I know it's loud. While you're in there, would be a great idea to replace the water pump too. Very easy with simple hand tools.

My water pump broke, bought a new electric clutch fan too. After installing it the clutch never disengaged. Sound just like you described. Higher rpm = more noise. Took to a garage and they charged me $900 to diagnose and put another one in. worked 75% better for a week then back to engaged all the time.
