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

Claim 6:
7. A method, comprising:
receiving, from a combination of noise sensors including 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;
determining a first threshold cooling fan speed based on the first SPL;
adjusting a speed of a cooling fan of the computing device based on the first threshold cooling fan speed;
receiving, from the combination of noise sensors, a second SPL of the environment;
determining a second threshold cooling fan speed based on the second SPL; and
adjusting a speed of the cooling fan of the computing device based on the second threshold cooling fan speed,
wherein the first SPL and the second SPL are different SPLs.
