Ambient Noise - Desktop PC

Using a miniDSP UMIK-1 calibrated microphone, I recorded sound pressure level (SPL) at 1m away from the PC:

• Ignore the random peaks. They're from door of the study room being opened and closed.

• From 0 to 1:30, SPL averages around 46.5dB. Windows 10 power setting at balanced-mode.

• From 1:30 to 5:30, I loaded and played Deliver Us The Moon game (EPIC settings). Windows 10 power setting at high-performance mode. SPL averages around 51dB.

• From 5:30 onwards, I closed the game and PC went back to balanced-mode.

With this data, I should be able to quantify difference between the stock cooler and new cooler which should be with me next week.
