Approaches presented herein provide for active noise cancelation for individual components in an environment such as a data center. There can be various heat-generating components in a data center, as may include servers, processors, and network switches, that also result in the generation of excess noise, such as may be produced by fans used to remove heat from these components. An exhaust tubing can be used to direct a flow of heated air, directed by a fan, from an opening in a sound-proof housing to an outlet of the tubing. A microphone can be placed inside the exhaust tubing to record the waveform of the noise emitted by the fan that is directed into the exhaust tubing. An inverted phase waveform can be generated and provided for playback by a speaker in the exhaust tubing. The inverted phase waveform will combine with the emitted waveform and, through destructive interference, largely cancel out the emitted waveform. If the workflow corresponds to a predictable load, the noise cancelation functionality can be activated and deactivated based on anticipated need, and aspects of the playback can be adjusted to provide for maximum noise cancelation.
