The mac mini spec says:

Sound pressure level (operator position): 16 dBA at idle.

The macbook air has no such spec. I want to ask people who've had both (or previous versions of both), which is quieter? I would think air's SSD reduces the HDD seek noise, but maybe air also has less space for air flow, resulting in the fans running at higher speeds?
