Patent ID: 7706546

Claim:
A computer implemented method in a data processing system comprising a plurality of computers for reducing noise generated within a first computer, the computer implemented method comprising: remotely accessing the first computer in the plurality of computers, using a second computer in the plurality of computers, to determine a noise level of a noise signal in the first computer, wherein the noise level of the noise signal within the first computer is determined using a noise detecting apparatus located within the first computer; determining whether the remote access to the first computer is granted; responsive to determining that the remote access is granted, displaying the noise level of the noise signal to a user; determining an amount of the noise level of the noise signal to suppress within the first computer based on user defined parameters; responsive to determining the noise level to suppress, generating a noise canceling signal using the user defined parameters; and broadcasting the generated noise canceling signal, wherein the noise signal is reduced to an acceptable noise level as indicated by the user defined parameters.
