Abstract
A computer device may include one or more electronic components located in a passive cooling zone. A wall divides the passive cooling zone from an active cooling zone and acoustically isolating the active cooling zone from the passive cooling zone. A heat sink attached to at least one of the one or more electronic may extend from the passive cooling zone to the active cooling zone through the wall. At least one noise emitting component may be located in the active zone. A method of controlling noise in the computer device may include determining, by a processor of the computer device located in the passive cooling zone, a noise frequency of a noise emitting component located within an active cooling zone of the computer device. The processor may control a speaker within the active cooling zone to emit anti-noise cancelling the noise frequency.
