i am planning to buy soon a new Mac and one of the main things i am looking after is noise generation (or rather, the lack of it!). I have not yet decided if it would be a portable or an iMac, but well, the dual PowerMacs are out of the picture (they are so LOUD!!)
Unfortunately the noise specs does not appear in apple's PDFs (???)
After browsing some mac sites it seems that the iBook is probably the quietest machine (fans and HD), but I would like to get some feedback from you all
So who's the noisiest guy in the neirbourhood?? iMacs / iBooks / PowerBooks ???
thanksalot

In the olden days (y’know, pre-2016), Apple made it quite difficult to get rid of that startup siren. You either had to mute the Mac before you closed it down, so that it didn’t sound the next time. Thank you for downloading Radio Silence for Mac from our software library. The license type of the downloaded software for Mac OS X is shareware. This license type may impose certain restrictions on functionality or only provide an evaluation period. The download was scanned for viruses by our system. Mac users with this feature enabled, and with Macs that have the boot sound by default (basically anything made prior to 2016), can continue to manually mute the boot sound by holding down the Mute key or by turning the volume all the way down before rebooting the computer, which will temporarily silence it for that particular boot or restart. Mac Miller's hometown baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, honored the late rapper with a video tribute and a moment of silence. Watch the clip here. Go to the Apple icon in the menu bar, and select System Preferences. Of course, if you prefer, you can use other methods to get to System Preferences such as Spotlight, Launchpad, your Dock, or the Applications folder. Step 2 Get to the Do Not Disturb Settings Inside System Preferences, go to the Notifications preference.
