Since most PC's are noisy I won't have one in the listening room(s) -
what's the point of 90db S/N when you're listening at 85 dbSPL and the
computer fan is whirring away at 50 dbSPL?

My refrigerator is noisier than that. When I listen to music,
I just turn it off and let my food rot.


Aesthetic sensibility test:

1. When your refrigerator cycles on, do you:
* * a. Open it and look for something to eat.
* * b. Turn up the volume?
* * c. Open the window and scream BWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! at the neighbors?

2. The part in the refrigerator that makes the noise is:
* * a. Bacteria
* * b. Compressor
* * c. Not covered by warranty

3. If someone offered to pay for all the electric your refrigerator eats,
provided that it was moved into your listening room, would you
* *a. Jump for joy?
* *b. Offer him a sandwich made with mayonaisse stored in aforesaid
refrigerator
* *c. Blog a long diatribe about "green" refrigerators and crosspost it
across 17 usenet newsgroups?
