You'll have to wait for your Boss to arrive to test whether underclocking has any effect on "noise" but you can test today whether underclocking increases boot time. Just grab a stop watch and time how long the RPi4 takes to boot with and without underclocking.

Hi Kent,

i did some testing
Reduce arm_freq to 800 didnt have much effect on boot time
adding arm_freq_min=400 and gpu_freq = 250 increased the boot time with 20%  
I assume the GPU changes made the boot time longer

I noticed that RPi4 doestnt have HW acceleration to decode FLAC.  Is this normal?
