The post is clearly hyperbole (I shouldn’t have to explain this but apparently some people around here aren’t aware of figures of speech), but computers used to be much louder than they are, floppy disks were very “talkative”, you could hear the HDD heads move and disks spinning under heavy load, and fans were much louder on average than they are today. On top of that, the motherboard speaker was used very liberally by everything.
Oh, and everyone had mechanical keyboards, but people of culture still do.
