First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing acoustic noise produced by a device, comprising:
- receiving a set of acoustic characteristics for the device;
determining an estimated acoustic noise for the device using the set of acoustic characteristics; and
adjusting a setting for a component within the device based on the estimated acoustic noise generated by the device to manage the acoustic noise that is produced by the device.

Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that manages the acoustic noise produced by a device. During operation, the system receives a set of acoustic characteristics for the device. The system then uses these acoustic characteristics to estimate the acoustic noise being generated by the device. Next, the system uses the estimated acoustic noise to adjust a setting in the device to manage the acoustic noise produced by the device.
