Maybe you didn’t notice if you are younger, but computers these days are only calm– I don’t really have a complaint about it. Silent computers are better to focus or enjoy your media better, but not long ago, a typical home computer seemed like a main computer from an old movie.
These days, the main noise exporters are admirers and perhaps some moan coil. Some computers (such as subsequent MacBook Aires) do not even contain fans, so don’t make sounds of any kind! This is a good thing, but it does not prevent me from feeling a little nostalgia for some of the noise that my computer has used.

The screaming of the phone application modem
We got the Internet at home in 1999, before I started high school. No wi-fi, no LAN, only one computer at home with an internet connection. This means that I had to transfer any file downloads to my computer using flexible tablets, after which the first flash drive ever at the size of 64MB.
Ultimately, I was dealing with some pocket money, and buying a modem for my computer, so I can connect directly to the Internet. Of course, since calling phone calls would prevent phone calls, and it has been bills per minute, I must get permission to call. This is about the full process of connecting to the network to rituals, which included this modem’s noise that overlooks the internet service provider server and a handshake.
This also means that it was impossible for anyone to get the network without announcing it to the entire world. Well, there He is A way to conceal the loudspeaker of the modem, but at that time I didn’t know that!

Solid drive grinding and clicking
Our first computer was 80826 compatible with (what I think) 4MB of RAM. Unlike your computer today, there was no simple way to see if the computer was frozen, or if it was just “thinking”. After all, this was a DOS computer running one program at the same time. The 40MB hard drive in this computer also doubled as a way to see if the computer is still working and you just have to wait a little bit.
I have already diagnosed computer problems using anything from my ears, and I am not just talking about “the click of death”. I literally managed to find out something wrong in the startup sequence on the home computer of my business only from the noise that was the drive compared to the last times that I visited, and yes, it was an automatic file filled with damaged scrap.

Flexible disk picks up
The inner hard drive is not the only storage device that loves a little noise. Flexible drives, with machines and engines have a distinctive “large piece” sound when you are at work. The first computers I used in school did not have solid drives. Only two of the 5.25 -inch pillows. One for the operating system and one for the program you want to run.
The sound that is made on a flexible drive when it is first turned on, and it was a basic self -test, but it may be the most wonderful thing happening to flexible drives because it has almost (almost) has become outdated. Make music.

Post whistle
POST (Self -Power Test) goes directly with the starting noise to start the elastic drive. In the first half of my life as a computer user, the computer made when it turned on This sequence.
I have always waited a loud breath for this whistle, because it was a sign that everything is fine. Well, at least everything before downloading your operating system. If you don’t turn off your computer directly the last time, there was a non-zero opportunity to clarify the hard drive-something I no Nostalgia!

CD/DVD rotor engine up
If the voices of the flexible drive with computer sounds in the past, the visual tablets still look like the future for me. It is ridiculous given that the optical media dies, and your computer may not have a visual drive, although you still have to keep one.
How is it not possible? Remember that my first meeting with computer media was tape tapes and flexible tablets. The shiny light tablets that worked with the laser are space technology in comparison. I clearly remember the first CD engine that we got to our Pentium 166MX computer (built into the old 80286 structure) and how to open a world of mine. We got it with a voice card, suddenly I was watching videos on a computer! I played games like Journeyman project I had a copy of Microsoft Encarta ’97 About three years before the Internet experience.
The funny thing is that I am still using light drive with my keyboards all the time, but these do not look like high -speed drives that we had on computers early. There is nothing like a 56X drive to the maximum speed to make you feel like you are a computer processor.

CRT Fixed organic pollutants screen and oakin
This is another technically that I have not been missing because I recently bought many CRT screens in an effort to get a specific games experience.
But for almost 20 years, I haven’t heard that the noise “piece” was that the computer screen itself was turned on, entered itself, then made the hair on my neck stand.
How was hearing CRT monitoring force after not hearing for 20 years? amazing.
