How quiet are you?

It's either an old or cheap Optical Drive that causes grinding - or poorly made fans.

Or the grindind noise could be the HD. I know me Seagate is pretty quiet, but with major disk operations you can hear it working.

Grinding is the only word i can think of to describe it. When my pc loads u can't hear anything but some are like making loadsa weird noises.

This isn't "grinding", or "rubbing" its vibration, ie not secured properly, or you can eliminate it by acoustic matting

How quiet is your PC? From 1-10, 10 being a jet engine at 1 meter and 1 being a whisper at 100 meters.

Mine personally is about a 3. Silent when I sit in my chair, so its good enough for me!

Mine is at a 1. However since a recent upgrade is running to hot. Not the fan though, still trying to figure out why.

1! Dang, that's sweet! My new rig is like a 4 or 5, not bad but you can hear it when you're in the same room, I'm going to say that's the clear windows fault. It's inaudible when I've got the earbuds in though.
I must not have seated my optical drive properly because I get the "grinding, whirring, vibration" deal when I download things mostly. Although it's quiet for FarCry and that's good for me.
