Highly Ranked

I agree, the chart is bogus since the Wii has no HDD.

Also, the test is poorly done for isolating the source of the noise. First, NEVER use different locations to test for sound level. They should all sit in the same spot to test the noise level. Second, testing baseline by not doing anything doesn't work. Hard drives now do activity while idle, so even if you don't request stuff they still move. Plus, the motor is always spinning, so it's really a measurement of idle sound level.
