Recently, PC component manufacturers are marketing their latest product as ultra quiet or silent.

This seems like false advertising most of the time. If something makes any noise whatsoever then it isn’t – by definition – silent. Instead, we’ve had to take the English language into our own hands and off the back of SorX’s Noctua 80mm fan review, the word mulnaz was created.

This word far from means silent, instead it’s where a component makes noise, but not enough to disturb your day-to-day computing.

The ‘scale’ is as follows:

• Loud
• Quiet
• Ultra quiet
• Mulnaz
• Silence

If your entire PC was pieced together with mulnaz components, it would be quiet enough to comfortably watch a quiet DVD without your interest wondering to the whir of the fans.
