Abstract
In one aspect, a device may include at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage may include instructions executable by the at least one processor to identify at least one characteristic associated with audio as sensed at a first location, with the audio being produced at a second location that is different from the first location. The instructions may also be executable to, based on the at least one identified characteristic, adjust a first volume level of a first component of the audio in a first frequency and/or first frequency band but not a second volume level of a second component of the audio in a second frequency and/or second frequency band of the audio.
Claims20
A first device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- storage accessible to the at least one processor and comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
- identify at least one characteristic associated with audio as sensed at a first location, the audio produced at a second location that is different from the first location, the at least one identified characteristic comprising additional sound produced by an object based on the production of the audio, the object being different from one or more speakers used to produce the audio;
- and
- based on the at least one identified characteristic, adjust output of a first audio component in one or more of a first frequency of the audio and a first frequency band of the audio but do not adjust output of a second audio component in one or more of a second frequency of the audio and a second frequency band of the audio, the output of the first audio adjusted by lowering a volume level of the first audio component, the first audio component falling within a bass frequency range.
At least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- identify at least one characteristic associated with audio as sensed at a first location, the audio produced at a second location that is different from the first location;
- and
- based on the at least one identified characteristic, adjust a first volume level of a first component of the audio in one or more of a first frequency and a first frequency range but not a second volume level of a second component of the audio in one or more of a second frequency and a second frequency range of the audio;
- wherein the at least one identified characteristic associated with the audio comprises additional sound produced by an object based on the production of the audio, the object being different from one or more speakers producing the audio, and wherein the instructions are executable to:
- based on the at least one identified characteristic, lower the first volume level of the first audio component, the first audio component falling within a bass frequency range, the bass frequency range comprising frequencies in the range of 16 Hz to 250 Hz.
A method, comprising:
- identifying at least one characteristic associated with audio as sensed at a first location, the audio produced at a second location that is different from the first location, the at least one characteristic comprising additional sound produced by an object based on the production of the audio, the object being different from one or more speakers used to produce the audio;
- and
- based on the identifying of the at least one characteristic, lowering a volume level of a first audio component in a first frequency band but not lowering a volume level of a second audio component in a second frequency band, the second frequency band being different from the first frequency band, the first audio component falling within one or more of:
- a bass frequency band, a treble frequency band.
