Okay so you’ve fussed over the compatibility of all of your components, sweated tirelessly to ensure that everything will be running at tip top optimal specifications, installed your shiny new components in your old PC. You’ve figured out the biggest and best fans to give the best airflow to keep your PC running cool all without breaking the bank. You’ve updated your graphics card to be able to play the most recent cutting edge games out there. You may think that all bases are now covered, but are you sure?

But have you forgotten anything?

One of the first things you will notice about upgrading fans, graphics cards, CPU coolers and power supplies is how loud the fans actually are.

It’s all well and good having a top-spec PC but unless you can actually bear to use it above all the noise then all of the upgrading is counter-productive. It’s not so bad when you choose the main PC case fans as you can individually pick the ones with the best air flow and the least decibel sound output, but for the graphics cards, you don’t really have an option. The same goes with the power supply too. It’s not often that you will be able to simply take out the fan of the PSU and swap it for a new, quiet fan. With these you normally have to buy a new add on fan and PSU respectively.

This is where PC Sound Proofing comes in. PC Sound Proofing is effectively dampening the existing sound to a lower level then previously.

This can be done through a number of means.

One of the most effective is through PC Sound Proofing materials. These can be easily purchased from a number of online retailers and is often overlooked as an almost essential part of Quiet PC building.

Some of the best PC Sound Proofing kits are very affordable and can make a significant difference to help make a Quiet PC.

PC Sound Proofing works by absorbing both airborne and structural noise through noise absorbent foam, much like that seen in a recording studio. They effectively absorb a full range of noise frequencies within the air to stop them reaching outside the case. With regards to the structural noise, this can relate to knocking and vibrating from moving components and PC Sound Proofing kits also reduce this sound by either cushioning the vibrations or by absorbing the airborne noise caused by this.

Bearing in mind that although you may want to purchase replacement fans for the overly loud fans you may find that this could cost a small fortune as quiet or silent fans can cost quite a lot. Instead of purchasing the fans, try the other approach to silent computing with the sound proof foam.

In conclusion PC Sound Proofing can help you complete your overall build for a Quiet PC by completely eliminating or significantly reducing the sound caused by noisy fan components, spinning hard drives and vibrating components.
