Abstract
A system may include a cooling subsystem comprising at least one air mover configured to generate a cooling airflow in the system and a thermal manager communicatively coupled to the cooling subsystem for control of the cooling subsystem and configured to determine an acoustic limit associated with the cooling subsystem, correlate the acoustic limit to an acoustic-based air mover speed limit for the at least one air mover, and control the cooling subsystem to maintain an air mover speed of the at least one air mover below the acoustic-based air mover speed limit.
