Noise Level Data
VIA have been at the forefront of the quiet computing initiative. The VIA VT310-DP Series has been designed to be totally non-obtrusive with noise levels equivalent to a person whispering. With noise levels measuring at the totally silent 0dBA, a new wave of system design innovation and exciting opportunities are being created in an almost limitless number of emerging new market segments ­ranging from fanless thin clients, flat panel small form factor desktop replacement systems, LCD PCs, high density servers and a host of other space and power saving systems.

Threshold of hearing 0 dBA VIA VT310-DP 0 dBA Normal breathing 10 dBA Whispering at 1 meter 20 dBA Conventional PC 35 – 50 dBA Rainfall 50 dBA Normal speech 60 dBA
The dBA scale is logarithmic, i.e. 10 dBA represents a doubling in volume. dBA values are measured at a distance of one meter.
