Ah, noisy rewind was a common problem. It's either caused by the tape counter (which we frequently just bypassed by removing the belt), or a noisy reel table. Silicone grease works great on those. Not a bad idea to pop the reel tables off the shafts and clean/lubricate them along with the loading system. Minor work like that is usually all they need if they haven't been used too heavily.
And yeah, the JVC machines are ridiculously loud. I think they use 100v fans. The later JVC font loaders like the CR-850 are very quiet.
