Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for mitigating computer fan noise. The embodiment may include retrieving a previously generated baseline profile for a user participating in a real-time e-conference call via a computing device. The embodiment may include identifying real-time hardware and software metrics of the computing device. The embodiment may include calculating a current fan indicative noise (FIN) score for the call based on the baseline profile and the identified metrics. The embodiment may include determining whether the current FIN score is above a threshold value. In response to determining that the FIN score is above a threshold value, the embodiment may include determining whether the computing device is at risk of damage. In response to determining that the computing device is not at risk of damage, the embodiment may include limiting operation of one or more fans of the computing device.
