      For the era of tech shown, you’d also have tons of clicking and whirring hard drive noise as well. Old Hard Drives are noisy. You can hear all the seeking and read/write operations.

      Personally, I find that noise comforting, but the inconsisent nature of it would make it hard to tune out.

        Oh man, you have no idea. I’ve learnt to wake up when the noise dies, it means something’s wrong.
