Audio modification using interconnected electronic devices

A method of managing sounds while teleconferencing, the method comprising:

• recording an audio signal via a microphone of a source computer;
• sensing a sound source via a sensor comprising a movement sensor of an external device separate from the source computer, wherein sensing the sound source includes detecting a movement pattern from the movement sensor;
• detecting a wanted sound in the audio signal and an unwanted sound in the audio signal, wherein the wanted sound is created by the sound source detected via the sensor;
• amplifying the wanted sound in the audio signal relative to the unwanted sound;
• and
• transmitting the amplified audio signal to a destination computer.

A computing device system, comprising:

• an electronic device including a movement sensor;
• and
• a computing device separate from the electronic device, including:
• a microphone;
• a processor in electronic communication with the movement sensor of the electronic device and with the microphone;
• a memory device in electronic communication with the processor, the memory device comprising instructions encoded thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive an audio signal produced by the microphone, the audio signal including a representation of a target noise;
• obtain a movement signal via the movement sensor of the electronic device;
• identify a source of the target noise in the movement signal;
• and
• modify the audio signal to change the representation of the target noise in the audio signal.
