- Fan:
- Sunon fan ~30dB (The fan in the dock will always run, as the dock will provide power delivery (charge) to the host-computer if it accepts this (i.e. a laptop battery), and the dock is designed to also provide charge. Because of this, the fan can run constantly.) A sound at 30 decibels (dB) is very quiet, comparable to a soft whisper or the sound of rustling leaves. This level is well below the threshold considered safe for prolonged exposure.
