Does Linux emit random sounds or wake up in the middle of the night? (lemmy.world)

This is my most needed feature in linux. I want zero 'connect/disconnect' sounds and if the laptop is asleep I don't want it to wake up in the middle of the night for no reason.

I have an infinite supply of Windows laptops from work but I hate them with a burning passion and I can't afford to replace my Macbook.

If someone can tell me what linux distro is the most silent and least annoying I will erase my entire Windows partition this weekend.

the problem is intermittent but yes that's basically what I'd do.

I am liking the sound of being admin of the PC. I like that. I only have surface laptops though and am less encouraged by the setup of that. Also.. I forgot that I use Sketchup regularly so will need to keep my windows partition.
