RE: I can't hear the fan on my MacBook! Read this from Apple

"This is spread spectrum and carries the possibility of spread resonances and microphonic effects. "

Does it?

Or does it reduce the noise amplitude at any spot frequency thus reducing the odds of exciting any potential microphonics?

Regardless, I don't like fans because they are noisy and prone to failure which is why I'm typing this on an iPad, a very weak sister as computers go but it doesn't have any moving parts except for the speakers and five switches.

On the other hand, if they have the fan where it doesn't rotate at all except under heavy load, that would also do it for me for as Steve says that rarely occurs.
