ABSTRACT

Managing sound levels at an IHS, including determining, for each time duration
over a first time period, multiple instantaneous sound levels of the time
duration of an environment of the IHS; calculating, for each time duration
over first time period, an average sound level of the time duration based on
the multiple instantaneous sound levels of the time duration; determining,
based on the average sound level of each time duration over the first time
period, a lowest average first sound level for first time period; setting the
lowest average first sound level as an ambient sound level of the environment
of the IHS for the first time period; adjusting, for the first time period, a
fan speed of a fan based on the ambient sound level of environment such that a
noise level of the fan is less than the ambient sound level of environment for
the first time period.
