For those of you with worried about the noise of your computer - why are you concerned?

Perhaps I have a high tolerance for noise, or perhaps it just doesn't sound the same way to me. My computer could hum like a nuclear reactor and I don't think I'd have a problem with it. I've got fans out the ass and they're certainly not quiet, and I don't have any "noise-cancelling enclosures" or anything of that sort. I sleep in the same room as my PC (less than 5 feet away) and I watch movies and game without ever noticing the sound of the PC.

However, there's a huge market for silent, near-silent, or silenced PC parts. I'm honestly curious why those of you concerned about noise are concerned.

Thoughts?
