Methods, systems, and media for rewinding media content based on detected audio events

A system for providing media guidance, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor of a media device that is configured to:
• detect, using the media device, that media content is being presented, wherein the media content includes an audio portion;
• receive, using an audio input device associated with the media device, audio data that includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented;
• determine that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content;
• place one or more identifiers within a media content file corresponding to the presented media content that identifies the one or more audio events based on the determination;
• receive a user command to rewind the media content;
• determine a playback position in the media content based on the audio event, wherein the playback position corresponds to a position in the media content file that is a given time period prior to an identifier within the media content file that identifies the audio event;
• and
• cause the media content to be presented from the determined playback position in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a hardware processor, cause the process to perform a method for providing media guidance, the method comprising:

• detecting, using a media device, that media content is being presented, wherein the media content includes an audio portion;
• receiving, using an audio input device associated with the media device, audio data that includes ambient sounds in an environment in which the media content is being presented;
• determining that a portion of the audio data corresponds to an audio event that occurred during the presentation of the media content;
• placing one or more identifiers within a media content file corresponding to the presented media content that identifies the one or more audio events based on the determination;
• receiving a user command to rewind the media content;
• determining a playback position in the media content based on the audio event, wherein the playback position corresponds to a position in the media content file that is a given time period prior to an identifier within the media content file that identifies the audio event;
• and
• causing the media content to be presented from the determined playback position in response to receiving the user command to rewind the media content.
