I remembered that when I was young I had to wait for the summer to play late at night because we had centralized AC and all bedroom doors were closed. It was the only time when they could not hear my PC :D

Only complaint I have is that some modern monitors start making a high pitched noise with age. I sincerely thought I had tinnitus before I figured that out

I actually like that my gaming computer makes a bit of noise. I can tab out while it's loading a game with tons of mods and know by the sound exactly when it's ready to play.

Add a dialup modem and a dot matrix printer and you have a symphony.

I could listen to that as white noise and drift off to sleep any day.

And then... There is the server standing my basement... Being so fucking noisy that i had to install sound protection because the neighbors couldn't sleep...

Jesus! What are you running that makes that much noise? I have two HP DL360p gen8's (older 1u units with LOUD fans when they get going) and a custom built gaming server in a rack at the end of my bed. Together they're sometimes a bit annoyingly loud when they're hard at work, but with the door closed you can barely hear them. I can't imagine a single server so loud that neighbors could hear it from a basement. You got a supercomputer in there or something?

I run a whole server with Cisco hardware wich is constantly at about 90% idk the specs from head right now, i and a friend bought that stuff as double (he has the same setup in his basement, they are exact copy's of each other and constantly exchange data), he is responsible for the hardware stuff. We store several hundred terabyte of data for "personal" (i won't go into the contents as its not for public, nothing illigal either) usage. There are also some v-servers running for some smaller stuff like a TS, a Mailserver, VPN... In total i have enough hardware to equip a medium sized company with everything they need.

(in short, it sounds like i run a jet engine constantly)

Ahhhh. Okay, I thought you meant a single unit was creating all that noise.

We store several hundred terabyte of data for "personal" (i won't go into the contents as its not for public, nothing illigal either) usage.

Got it - it's all Linux ISOs.

What'd you use? I'm moving into a new place and my bedroom shares a wall with my roommates and I'm curious about mute the, uh, fan noises.
