| 550124 | 2007-05-16 08:58:00 | How audible is the system noise when it is operating? | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 550125 | 2007-05-16 09:39:00 | Just able to hear it during the day, but it gets louder (ears adjust as they do) at night where I can hear it to the point that it is almost bugging me... though I am a light sleeper so... it needs to be as quite as possible :p But as (I think) I said above I have shifted the PC to under the TV cabinet to increase obstacles in the sound waves' travel path thus reducing the amplitude of the sound waves that I encounter from the PC :nerd: |

| 550126 | 2007-05-16 09:42:00 | My old Windows machine sounds like a hairdryer when on, my iMac only has a slight electronic hum when in use and virtually no sound at all when asleep. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 550127 | 2007-05-16 22:27:00 | OK, here is an update: The audible noise has been reduced by a fair amount just by putting the PC in the TV cabinet, but it is still there, so now I am going to leave the existing hardware as it is and try sound proof the HDD and maybe the fans depending on the outcome of the HDD. So what would be the best way of quieting it down a little more (relatively cheap :p)? Accoustic padding such as this (ascent.co.nz)? |

| 550129 | 2007-05-16 23:46:00 | OK, I am looking now. I should also mention that any solutions for the HDD MUST be able to fit in the 3.5" bay |
