My work PC is extremely loud. But sometimes if you hit it on the top of the case with your fist, it gets quieter...
It makes it hard if I'm trying to play a game at work because then it gets REALLY loud and people in the office start looking towards my desk and then I have to quit the game so as not to get caught

But my iBook and iMac don't make any noise at all its really strange to go from one extreme to the other.

mines fairly loud because of the 120CFM fans for my radiator and a little 6000RPM 60mm fan that has a little bit of a high pitch to it that I have aiming at my chipset. Both of those fans are on a fan controller though, but they still produce a bit of noise, especially the smaller fan.

With the computer off my room would be eerily quiet. But my previous case with 14 fans or whatever was REALLY freakin loud compared to this.

It is louder than most computers, but I can live with it. And my headphones are isolating anyway. (Audio-Technica ATH-A900LTD)

Kind of counterproductive isn't it? Noisy watercooling?
