Patent attributes
Systems and methods are directed to an audio computing device and methods for modifying and/or blending an ambient-sound signal and a non-ambient-sound signal together into a blended signal having one or more desirable characteristics. In some embodiments, the audio computing device may obtain an ambient sound signal by capturing ambient sound with a microphone. The audio computing device may also obtain a non-ambient sound signal that does not represent ambient sounds. The audio computing device may modify one or both of the sound signals to change properties of the sound signals based at least in part on contextual information related to the sound signals, the audio computing device, or the like. The audio computing device may then blend the modified signals together and cause the blended signal to be output as sound via a speaker that provides an improved audio experience for a user of the audio computing device.
