Right now in the server room here at the house it's at 77dB -- well,
right at the server rack; it's a bit lower where I sit. There's only
7U powered up right now, though, and the x3850 doesn't have its fans
on due to the open windows and pleasant conditions outside. So, it
could be worse -- and has been.
For instance, I could turn on the G5 RackMac to measure it, but since
I have those windows open it would only piss off the neigbhors :-)
(ok, ok, once the OS takes over the fan control, that one drops to
only "pretty annoying" from "banshee". Where did Apple get these
damned fans from, anyway?)
