We measure the idle acoustics after allowing the system to boot and come to rest, usually around two hours after booting when we begin testing the idle and load temperatures. This ensures any processes are done and complete, giving a true idle measurement.
We then take the load acoustics measurement right at the end of the 20 minutes AIDA 64 stability test.
