Abstract
A method, a system, and a computer program product for managing noise generated by active cooling devices of an electronic device. The method includes determining a current noise level of at least one active cooling device of an electronic device. The method further includes measuring, by at least one microphone of the electronic device, a level of ambient noise within a surrounding environment. The method further includes measuring, via at least one thermal sensor, a heat load generated by at least one heat generating device of the electronic device. The method further includes applying, to the at least one active cooling device, at least one adjustment that mitigates the heat load and minimizes noise generated by the at least one active cooling device relative to the level of ambient noise.
