What kind of noises? Barring any other indications of a hardware failure,
it sounds like you simply need to replace the battery(ies).
That said, if it turns out that you *do* need to replace the UPS, secondhand
APC SmartUPSes can be had pretty cheaply on the secondhand market. It's not
uncommon for SU1500 variants to go for around $100 minus battery (figure another
$60-$75 for a pair of 18Ah SLAs). For a single server, an SU1500 is probably
overkill but nobody ever complained about having too much reserve runtime...
