re: Make Computer Quiet Tuesday, July 1, 2008 at 1:39 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (1951 messages posted) OK well this is strictly a hardware issue and this forum is for issues with the XP Operating System. Fan noise is a problem for me too, since I also use my PC for audio recording. There is only so much that you can do to make fans quieter, while still cooling the PC adequately, especially if you are over-clocking! Ultimately, the solution is the same as in a professional recording studio - acoustically isolate the music from the kit, either by distance or by damping, or use directional microphones with the kit placed in the "dead zone" behind the mics. If you are desperate, a few well-placed seat cushions or folded-up blankets can help dampen extraneous sounds! It can be useful to have a sound level meter to determine best placement of mics and damping materials. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx.
