Do components have their own sound?

When describing their expensive servers, manufacturers often claim that they reviewed many different parts, i.e. motherboards, processors and such to find that special synergy between the components for the best sound possible. I'm not a computer expert, but I know that, for example, music reproduction doesn't require a particularly fast processor. So, surely, it's not the processor's speed they're talking about. I know that different OS may produce different sounds which is probably comparable to different sonic signatures produced by different coupling caps in a power amplifier. Alright, so Lynux may sound different then another program. But hardware? Anybody care to shed some light over this?
