Let's see, a million fans with an average dimension of 5x5
inches....that's a big room. :)

The construction grade insulation is still a superior product for 
absorbtion values and for controlling migration. If you're concerned about
the look then stretch a textile over it.

If the bean grinder analogy still applies. Put a gasket between the fans
and the cases they're mounted to.
