Fan blow-out
8 August 2003 18:03The fan on my video card has lost a bearing, so it now makes a constant buzz. It's not loud as such, but it is intensly annoying. I found a packet of HDFoam ear plugs and shoved them into my ears. Bliss! As I type this the loudest thing I can hear is my own breathing.
You don't realize how noisy a town is until you deaden all sound for a while. The constant background hum of a city is very noticable when I take the ear pugs out.
