Journal PermanentMarker's Journal: vibration harmonics noise inside desktops. 1
Hi I wonder if anyone ever tried to tackle casing vibrations of a desktop.
I made a silent desktop with only one fan (on the CPU) special aircooled power suply with no fan. Silent disks, but still.. i think these disks each have their own vibrations. And different vibration (wavelength's ) resulting in harmonic effects, and thus i hear buzz once every few seconds. (altough each disk seperate was a silent type too)
I wonder what would be a simple cheap way to get rit of it, other then putting my desktop in concrete. Perhaps something that is a solution specific to the harmonics problem.
Do you have a spare disk slot? (Score:1)

Assuming it won't bork the airflow, something stuffed in there that won't rattle but absorb the vibration might work. And while you have the case open check the screws are tight.
Harmonic vibrations are a bitch to get rid of. Basically you can go the full analysis route which is way too much work for the sane or try to change the harmonic frequency of the system to one which the vibrations from the disks don't accentuate - ie shove a sock, maybe a wooden block - screwed in, in
