You know whats really funny? Computers are so quiet these days, and the only time people complain, is if they hear their notebooks fan screaming all the time. My position is, I rather have cooling over quietness.
I discovered that MSI tuned my notebook fan curves for quiet. So of course, one of the first things I did was, go into the bios and set my fans to start kicking up at 35C, and maximize by 68C. I rather not have a CPU meltdown thank you very much lol.
But even computer's in the 90's were still loud due to noisy hard drives. That high pitched whine sound was all too common, and if you ever entered a server room, better have ear plugs lol.
In the 80's to mid 90's, we got to listen to the wonderful sound of magnetic tape drives and floppies making their own wracket of sounds. If you don't know these sounds, I recommend watching That 8-Bit Guy on Youtube.
Truth is, floppy drives were so dumb, they had to issue a return to home command, which always made that knocking sound we all heard so much, and if you asked weather or not that knocking would eventually wear out the drive, you'd be right lol.
Kids today with their fancy smart phones, and thin and light notebooks, have 0-clue what we went through. IMHO, it is better to have experienced what we came from, to give appreciation for what we have now.
And don't forget the lovely sounds the dialup modems made back in the 90's, early 2000's. Those were the days, when downloading a 100MB file would leave you in serious doubt weather it would get to you, before your ISP terminated your connection.
