And that makes it more "real"? I'm not following.
For smaller microcomputers, I find the churning of the disk drive to
be a nice audible indicator of when the machine is chewing on something.
I otherwise tend to prefer no noise at all, and machine room levels of
noise (with the amount of sound those drives put out) is just absurd to
emulate; I don't think anyone does that. In particular, I generally
object to fan noise.
To each their own, though.
