Abstract
Systems and methods for an acoustic hard drive surrogate. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a chassis having a hard drive bay, and an acoustic hard drive surrogate coupled to the hard drive bay, where the acoustic hard drive surrogate includes a microphone configured to measure a combined airflow-induced and fan-generated acoustic wave transmitted over the air within the chassis and received at a selected point on a surface of the acoustic hard drive surrogate, and where the measurement excludes vibration received by the acoustic hard drive surrogate through the chassis.
