Abstract

Aspects of the subject technology provide noise mitigation for electronic devices. Noise mitigation can mitigate the effect of a sound-generating component of an electronic device that generates sound as a byproduct of a primary function of the sound-generating component. The noise mitigation can include geometrically distributing another sound in a geometric distribution that mitigates the perceived effect of the sound of the sound-generating component on a user of the electronic device.
