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	2.30 (Kv=0.25)	15.0
Wireless web	2.30 (Kv=0.25)	15.0
Hard drive seek	2.30 (Kv=0.25)	15.0

1.    L_WA,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.05 B.
2.    L_pA,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 0.5 dB).
3.    1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel)
4.    K_V is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
5.    The quantity, L_WA,c (formerly called L_WAd) may be computed from the sum of L_WA,m and K_V.
6.    The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.
7.    Configuration tested: 3.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB memory, 1TB Fusion Drive, AMD Radeon R9 M290X graphics.
