You're right, I can't hear it at all!

I like the sound of a hard working machine, feels like it's really doing something. I also miss the sounds of mechanical drives, 56k modems, and those high pitched sweeps when CRT tvs switch resolutions. It's all too quiet nowadays :p

Back in my middle & high school days in the 90s when a 27" Sony Trinitron was state-of-the-art, I could always tell before I even walked into the classroom if we were going to be watching something on the TV. Those old CRTs had that high-pitched drone that could carry a good distance, especially in the hallways of my old high school.

Did you have those tank like build VHS recorders too is school? The beautiful noises those things made, except the auto gain volume control that amplified white noise silence to the extreme between sentences. Silence doesn't make noise anymore nowadays.

When my ps4 starts to spin up I know the game is getting good. That heat haze above the console, papers fluttering behind the fan, disturbed spiders running for cover, standing waves in my coffee with the spoon rattling against the side, av cabinet resonating with the vibrations, game boxes slowly moving to the edge and falling off, this game is value for money, excellent wattage per dollar spend!
