Acoustic Performance
Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109
Sound Power Level L W A,m (B) | Sound Pressure Level Operator Position L p A,m (dB) | |
|---|---|---|
Idle | 1.4 (K V = 0.3) | 5 |
Wireless web | 1.4 (K V = 0.3) | 5 |
L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.
L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).
1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).
K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v .
The wireless web test browses 6 tabs with a mix of content including media.
Configuration tested: Mac mini with Apple M2 chip, 8-core CPU / 10-core GPU, 8GB unified memory, 512GB storage, 2-ports and Mac mini with Apple M2 Pro chip, 10-core CPU / 16-core GPU, 16GB unified memory, 2TB storage, 4-ports.
1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
Wi-Fi 6E connectivity available in countries where supported.
Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
Acoustics measured from typical operator position sitting in front of standard Mac mini system. Acoustics may vary by configuration.
iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are available on the Mac App Store. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID and a device that is compatible with the OS version required for each app.
Data accurate as of product launch.
Product recycled content is the mass of certified recycled material relative to the overall mass of the device, not including packaging or in‑box accessories.

Apple’s Regulated Substances Specification describes Apple’s restrictions on the use of certain chemical substances in materials in Apple products, accessories, manufacturing processes, and packaging used for shipping products to Apple’s end-customers. Restrictions are derived from international laws or directives, regulatory agencies, eco-label requirements, environmental standards, and Apple policies. Every Apple product is free of PVC and phthalates except for AC power cords in India, Thailand (for two-prong AC power cords), and South Korea, where we continue to seek government approval for our PVC and phthalates replacement. Apple products comply with the European Union Directive 2011/65/EU and its amendments, including exemptions for the use of lead such as high-temperature solder. Apple is working to phase out the use of these exempted substances for new products where technically possible.
Based on retail packaging as sold by Apple. Fiber content is based on a breakdown of U.S. retail packaging by weight. Adhesives, inks, and coatings are excluded from our calculations of plastic content and packaging weight.
