Aside from using CD slow down utilities or config.sys driver settings, is a 16x CD-ROM drive considered too loud for general use or game loading? I see often that the goal is to slow the drives down to 4x speeds. What is everyone's [personal] consensus on what CD-ROM speed is acceptable for noise? Based on some internet browsing, it seems like 4-12x is considered acceptable. 16x OK? I don't have anything in the 12-32x range to compare, but 40x quite a bit too noisy for me.
