Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example electronic device disclosed herein includes a microphone and a thermal management system having a fan. The electronic device includes a processor to detect ambient noise via the microphone, identify a sound of interest value associated with the ambient noise and identify a background noise value associated with the ambient noise. The processor to determines a signal-to-noise ratio based on the sound of interest value and the background noise value and compares the signal-to-noise ratio to a sensitivity threshold. In response to determining that the signal-to-noise ratio exceeds the sensitivity threshold, the processor operates the thermal management system with one or more restrictions.
