[Elecraft] KPA-1500 power supply fan noise

Is there any way to power off the fans (or lower their RPM) on the PSU if
the amp is in standby mode?

I would like to keep my rig on 6m throughout the day during the Es season.
The problem is my 6m antenna is on antenna port 2 on the KPA, which requires
the amp to be powered up. I only need to TX when a new grid pops up, but I
do like to monitor the band during the day while I'm working. My XYL is
working from home, and is in the same room for about 9 or 10 hours a day,
and the noise after 10 minutes was too much for her. Any suggestions? 

Please-n-thanks.
