up_the_irons: it doesn't seem any louder than usual
but the data center itself is loud so i can't generally tell
nathani: was that photo taken with your phone?

mercutio: rackmount servers are generally annoyingly noisy nathani
plett: Which is why you lock them away in other people's buildings and do everything possible via idrac/ipmi etc
mercutio: yeah
and wear ear plugs when going to dc
plett: I prefer noise cancelling headphones, but yes
mercutio: do noise canceling head phones actually protect your ears?
plett: Datacentre noise isn't loud enough to cause hearing damage
mercutio: ahh ok
yuicat: there's an odd zen factor to camping w/ a crash cart for hours on end, milk tea in hand, nothing but fan noise filling the air~
plett: Well, the DCs I've been in aren't
yuicat: I've never used ear plugs :o
mercutio: it's enough to give me a headache :)
yuicat: that's what the milk tea is for ^^
mercutio: but i suppose that doesn't mean it's damaging so much as agitating
plett: Yes, just bloody annoying
And remarkably fatiguing
mercutio: yeah it's amazing how much difference it makes at the end when you have ear plugs
even if you don't really notice at the time
