Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 9:
10. A controller comprising a processor in communication with a memory resource including instructions executable to:
receive, from a first noise sensor located on a computing device, a first sound pressure level (SPL) of an environment in which the computing device is present;
determine a first threshold speed of a cooling fan based on the determined first SPL of the environment;
set a speed of the cooling fan based on the determined first threshold speed; and
responsive to coupling the computing device to a peripheral device of the computing device:
receive, from a second noise sensor located on the peripheral device, a second SPL of the environment;
determine a second threshold speed of the cooling fan based on using inputs from a combination of the determined first SPL of the environment and the determined second SPL of the environment; and
set the speed of the cooling fan based on the determined second threshold speed.
