It goes without saying that even a moderately fast CPU these days requires a fast-spinning (read noisy) fan to avoid the risk of overheating. Combine that with a PSU fan, GPU
fan, chipset fan and one or more case fans and your average PC can so
easily become a major distraction. And it's not just the sound from
fans that can cause annoyance. A high proportion of the noise created
by PCs can also emanate from the hard disk(s), particularly while
'seeking', or from any optical drives that have been installed. Just
imagine then trying to follow the dialogue in your favourite DVD movie
with the constant din of your computer in the background.
It doesn't
even have to be a particularly loud sound to be distracting - a
relatively quiet noise containing a strong tonal component such as a
high frequency whine or a low frequency hum can be just as irritating
to some people. Fortunately, there are now numerous noise
elimination products available to purchase, either as add-on components
or devices that replace the existing cooling fans in your system -
these components are designed to reduce the sound of a noisy PC to
barely a whisper.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, specialist component supplier QuietPC
certainly doesn't think so and has provided us with a range of
silencing products for testing. The effectiveness of each
noise-reducing component has been assessed subjectively based on the
different acoustic features in each instance, and also from noise
measurements taken using a high-quality sound level meter.
So, if
you fancy the idea of creating your own near-silent PC but are unsure
of the best place to start, or are just keen to learn what the latest
IT noise control technology has to offer, you should find this feature
interesting.
