bruit de fonctionnement à peine perceptible
that would be pass any test regarding "publicité mensongère".
"whisper silent operation" could be interpreted as
"the noise generated by the working computer being no more loud than whispers"
or as
"the working computer will make so little noise that you could hear whispers"
in either case it's NOT real "silence" - it's more accurately a very low intensity noise in the range of 20 to 30 decibels.

: il est évident qu'il fonctionne s'il émet un bruit, i.e, fonctionnement est superflu (cf. votre commentaire)

LIPOSUCTION MACHINES
What is the best liposuction aspirator for you?
All lipo aspirators reach the same negative pressure (-29.6 inches of mercury at sea level), but it is the Flow Rate that differentiates each system and determines the speed of the procedure. Our smallest unit, the Touch-Up, has a flow rate of 2.5 CFM whilst the RM2000 and the LS2 have a massive 5 CFM.
These aspirators are the leaders in quiet high-powered liposuction aspirator technology with high vacuum and airflow rates to satisfy your exacting needs.
The MD Touchup is our lowest price point aspirator - easily portable and great for small jobs (1 Year Warranty)
The RM 2000 is our perfect mid-range machine. It provides whisper-silent operation at only 42 +/-dB @ 3ft

Decibels (dB)
The ear has the remarkable ability to handle an enormous range of sound levels. In order to express levels of sound meaningfully in numbers that are more manageable, a logarithmic scale is used, rather than a linear one. This scale is the decibel scale.
What is a decibel? Zero decibels (0 dB) is the quietest sound audible to a healthy human ear. From there, every increase of 3 dB represents a doubling of sound intensity, or acoustic power.
https://www.noisehelp.com/decibel-scale.html
Between 0 dB and 42 dB there is quite a difference - 42 dB is hardly anywhere near real "silence", as shown by this scale:
decibels intensity* type of sound
*In watts per square metre.
130 10 artillery fire at close proximity (threshold of pain)
120 1 amplified rock music; near jet engine
110 10−1 loud orchestral music, in audience
100 10−2 electric saw
90 10−3 bus or truck interior
80 10−4 automobile interior
70 10−5 average street noise; loud telephone bell
60 10−6 normal conversation; business office
50 10−7 restaurant; private office
40 10−8 quiet room in home
30 10−9 quiet lecture hall; bedroom
20 10−10 radio, television, or recording studio
10 10−11 soundproof room
0 10−12 absolute silence (threshold of hearing)

The table below shows dB levels and how noise from everyday sources can affect your hearing.
Everyday Sounds and Noises Average Sound Level (measured in decibels) Typical Response (after routine or repeated exposure)
Softest sound that can be heard 0 Sounds at these dB levels typically don’t cause any hearing damage.
Normal breathing 10
Ticking watch 20
Soft whisper 30
Refrigerator hum 40
Normal conversation, air conditioner 60
Washing machine, dishwasher 70 You may feel annoyed by the noise
City traffic (inside the car) 80–85 You may feel very annoyed
Gas-powered lawnmowers and leaf blowers 80-85 Damage to hearing possible after 2 hours of exposure
Motorcycle 95 Damage to hearing possible after about 50 minutes of exposure
Approaching subway train, car horn at 16 feet (5 meters), and sporting events (such as hockey playoffs and football games) 100 Hearing loss possible after 15 minutes
The maximum volume level for personal listening devices; a very loud radio, stereo, or television; and loud entertainment venues (such as nightclubs, bars, and rock concerts) 105–110 Hearing loss possible in less than 5 minutes
Shouting or barking in the ear 110 Hearing loss possible in less than 2 minutes
