it can't be, you can't use 220 v voltage.

While the resulting explosion may be fun to watch you really shouldnt do that. Miners run on 12 volt DC current. A power supply is just an AC/DC transformer.

Stop buying industrial miners, running them at home, and then complaining about the noise.

Do you see anything resembling an AC power connector on the miner? No.
The miners run on 12VDC. What provides that power? A PSU...

I know there is a saying that "there are no stupid questions", but this just might reach to that point that this is a stupid question.

Ignoring the terrible idea of you burning down your house.

Why not buy 1 PSU to run both of the miners. I did that when I bought my first s5's, I picked up a PSU and ran 3 of them off it.
