Abstract
An information handling system may include an air mover configured to cause movement of gaseous fluid within the information handling system in order to thermally cool one or more components of the information handling system and a dynamic noise generation system configured to receive an indication of expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover and generate sound in accordance with an output noise signal based on noise generated by the air mover.
Claims15
An information handling system comprising:
- an air mover configured to cause a movement of a gaseous fluid within the information handling system in order to thermally cool one or more components of the information handling system;
- and
- a dynamic noise generation system configured to:
- receive an indication of an expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover;
- and
- generate a sound in accordance with an output noise signal, wherein the generated sound is attenuated in a frequency range associated with the expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover, such that the generated sound is audible at non-attenuated frequencies and an acoustical energy generated by the air mover is audible in the frequency range at which the generated sound is attenuated, such that a sum of the generated sound and the expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover approximates a pink noise.

A method comprising:
- receiving an indication of an expected acoustical energy generated by an air mover configured to cause a movement of a gaseous fluid within an information handling system in order to thermally cool one or more components of the information handling system;
- and
- generating a sound in accordance with an output noise signal, wherein the generated sound is attenuated in a frequency range associated with the expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover, such that the generated sound is audible at non-attenuated frequencies and an acoustical energy generated by the air mover is audible in the frequency range at which the generated sound is attenuated, such that a sum of the generated sound and the expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover approximates a pink noise.
An article of manufacture, comprising;
- a non-transitory computer readable medium;
- and
- computer-executable instructions carried on the non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer-executable instructions configured to cause a processor to:
- receive an indication of an expected acoustical energy generated by an air mover configured to cause a movement of a gaseous fluid within an information handling system in order to thermally cool one or more components of the information handling system;
- and
- generate a sound in accordance with an output noise signal, wherein the generated sound is attenuated in a frequency range associated with the expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover, such that the generated sound is audible at non-attenuated frequencies and an acoustical energy generated by the air mover is audible in the frequency range at which the generated sound is attenuated, such that a sum of the generated sound and the expected acoustical energy generated by the air mover approximates a pink noise.
