Acoustic Performance
Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109
| Sound Power Level LWA,m (B) |
Sound Pressure Level Operator Position LpA,m (dB) |
|
|---|---|---|
| Idle | 2.00 (Kv =0.25) | 11.0 |
| Hard drive seek | 2.00 (Kv =0.25) | 11.0 |
| Wireless web | 2.00 (Kv =0.25) | 11.0 |
- LWA,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.05 B.
- LpA,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 0.5 dB).
- 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel)
- KV is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
- The quantity, LWA,c (formerly called LWAd) may be computed from the sum of LWA,m and KV.
