(The predominant audible component is semi-broadband noise from cooling fans, and secondarily from the spinning disk drives. Fan noise may be higher during system boot-up, and possibly during periods of sustained, very high data transfer rates. There is also an audio beeper built into the system that is intended to function as an alert when particular fault conditions occur, such as a failed disk drive.)
