NOISE CONTROL IN PROXIMITY TO A COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for controlling sound level of a computer system within a selected zone. In one embodiment, the sound level within an enclosed space is detected and an electronic signal representative of the sound level is generated in response. The presence of one or more person within the enclosed space is detected, and an electronic signal is generated responsive to the detected presence. The airflow rate and processor load are both decreased in response to the detected presence when the sound level exceeds a predefined sound-level setpoint.
