I'm sorry, but I just cant bring myself to believe this statement. There's no way a computer fan can get loud enough to cause hearing damage.
- nevi-me 5y agoHow loud does a computer fan get when running at 100% fan, with a high pitch almost like a drill, in your experience? I've just tested with a sound meter app on my phone; granted this isn't the most accurate way of doing it. Silent in my room: 30db Fan on while running and GPU is activated: max 90db. I wish a computer manufacturer could guarantee what you're saying, because I could get a letter from my ENT doctor, take precise measurement; and sue the manufacturers for damaging my hearing.
- viklove 5y agoYour computer fan is as loud as a lawn mower? You can't have a conversation in your room while your fan is running? What?
