Drive Acoustic Silencer is an application for Toshiba laptop computers to lessen vibration noises produced by optical CD and DVD read-only memory drives. Optical CD and DVD drives sometimes emit noticeable vibration noises when reading or writing to discs at high speeds; the Drive Acoustic Silencer program reduces those read/write speeds to limit external noise.
