In modern usage, it is more commonly used in the context of technology:
To throttle means to impose a limit or restriction on speed, data transmission, or bandwidth, usually to prevent overload or to save resources.
A throstle is an old-fashioned word for a skylark or a song thrush, a type of bird known for its melodious singing voice.
