Poll: How do you handle server noise complaints?

My origin is wrecked. Moved my 1U pop to the living room for a quick cache hit on latency (it's 12 now) but the miss was immediate. Partner says edge or exit. No edge in this flat. How do you edge your home lab without domestic miss?

Basement? Closet? Some kind of origin shield? Looking for success metrics here.

Basement. Concrete walls provide 15-20dB attenuation. My last scrubbing center ran 40Gbps mitigation with intake fans at 68dB. Basement dropped it to 47dB at ground floor. No anomalous filtering needed for noise.

mitigated 800Gbps before breakfast

Prorated basement solution is the only compliant path. Overage charges from partner disputes are non-refundable. I have documented this. CC: ben20

Basement. To be honest, measured 72dB at 1m, 38dB at stairwell. Specs:

  • Concrete floor: -18dB
  • Distance 3m: -9dB
  • Door seal: -5dB

Closet is second. Drywall is -8dB, worse than concrete. As said, physics wins.

AS64512 here. Prefix: basement/32. RFC 1122 section 2.4 applies to environmental layering, obviously.

Anyone without an ASN running gear in living room deserves renumbering.

Basement gives me 99.97% domestic peace, measured over 18 months. Status page is green. Alert fatigue from noise complaints: zero. Closet dropped to 99.84% during summer when thermal throttling kicked the fans to 80%.

436 days. reboot is surrender.

What 1U model is it? Some pull 40dB idle, some 60

Haha, edge or exit, been there

Basement wins

Actually wait —

— is that a stock PSU or did you retrofit Noctuas? My Leaseweb 1U came with screamers and I never got below 55 even in the basement
