The two emergency stop buttons had me laughing hard.
I could listen to that as white noise and drift off to sleep any day.

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.

If your fan noises 😉 are really loud you should install a wall made of acoustic drywall in front of that shared wall and fill the gap with acoustic foam. Acoustic foam alone won’t help with loud noise. Since that mostly reduces the reflection of sound. Sound can still pass trough the foam and then trough the wall.
The acoustic dry wall is a good shout, but I don’t think my boyfriend would take too kindly to me shrinking our room and the shared wall has closets for both bedrooms. I’m hoping those closets will do something to help, and the foam wall paneling is a good shout, but I’m trying to think of ways to do it in a way that’ll please his aesthetic desires. He doesn’t want it to look like a “streamer’s bedroom”. I joke with him and say change one letter and it’s more accurate, so maybe he’ll considered some colored ones mounted at angles to create a more visually appealing surface. That, or try to mount a rug on the wall 😅
That’s called a data center. If you get to the point that you need sound protection it is no longer a homelab, it is a home data center.
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?

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.

If my dream of living out in the woods ever comes true, I’ll legit do this. Until then, I figure I wouldn’t last a week being so close to a major city so it’s a moot point.
older 1u units with LOUD fans when they get going)
1U servers tend to have loud fans regardless of age. Small fans that spin very quickly (to get decent airflow) will do that. They’re also designed for use in data centers where noise is less of a concern.
Sometimes you can replace server fans with Noctua fans, but the small Noctua fans generally have less airflow than the stock ones (usually made by Delta) so you’d have to check they’d be sufficient for your use case.
Oh, I know it. Thankfully the noise is only bad during initial boot (which seldom happens) or if they’re really kicked into high gear.

That was a fun video and you introduced me to a new youtube channel! Thanks 😁
No worries. The 8-Bit Guy, Michael MJD, Action Retro, and Cathode Ray Dude are all YouTubers in a similar vein in my opinion that I would recommend.
That’s also LGR’s second channel by the way. His main channel is LGR.
Macintosh Performa models had downright adorable little bwip… bwip… bwip noises.
Hearing all the noises in the right sequence was how you knew everything was working on startup
I bet I could close my eyes and still tell you what each of those sounds meant and in what order from my family’s first computer (a 386!) if you played a recording of it today

Me: Reminisces in SCSI hard drive earthquake noises.
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
Friend and I started doing water cooling stuff.
He could only play in winter, because he could place his water bucket on the balcony
You can use negative decibels, right? It’s a logarithmic scale
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
This explains so much… I always wondered why it went away when I turned the power strip off… (this is real). In all seriousness, I am shockingly relieved. Also very annoyed. Very, very annoyed. That monitor was so goddamn extensive!
I’m not sure if its a federation issue or not but your comment appears several times.
That’s not good. I would be worried about the potential fire hazard.
The noise is one or more components physically osculating
That’s an understandable worry, but the fucker has not burst into flames yet nor has it made any indication of doing so anytime soon, and I don’t leave the room with it on. I treat most technology like a burning candle

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.

Oh not mine. I got 6 industrial grade 140mm case fans. My leafblower is going to take off the ground before it overheats.
