Hello,

Just curious if the SSD in the M1 MBA makes any type of noise? Obviously, the spinning drives make noise, but are SSD's completely silent? I've heard a very faint HD type of sound, but I wasn't sure if it was my MBA or our U-Verse box as I was close to it. I haven't heard anything since, so I'm chalking it up to the U-Verse box. However, I could be totally wrong?
 
It should be completely silent. If you're using headphones, there may be some interference (electromagnetic for wireless and shielding for wired). But other than that, it should be inaudible.
 
That’s what I thought. Thanks so much for your response!
