Acoustic Performance

Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109

	Sound Power Level L W A,m (B)	Sound Pressure Level Operator Position L p A,m (dB)
Idle	1.90 (K V = 0.25)	12.0
Wireless web	1.90 (K V = 0.25)	11.5
Hard drive seek	1.95 (K V = 0.25)	12.0

1. L _W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.05 B.
2. L _p A,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 _W A,c (formerly called L _W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L _W A,m and K _v .
6. The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.
7. Configuration tested: 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB memory, 1TB Fusion Drive, Intel Iris graphics.
