Abstract
The automatic adjustment of audio alert characteristics of an alert device using ambient noise levels is described. In one aspect of the invention, a machine-readable medium has executable instructions to cause a machine to perform a method to receive an audio sample of ambient noise and adjust a characteristic of the audio alert, such as, the volume level of the audio alert, based on the ambient noise level.

1-41. (canceled)
A machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more machines, cause the machines to:
- sample ambient audio corresponding to receipt of a signal;
- select an audio alert from a plurality of audio alerts based on parameters of the sampled ambient audio, wherein the audio alert is different from the ambient audio;
- and
- generate the audio alert as an audible audio alert.

A system comprising:
- an audio input to receive an ambient sound and convert the ambient sound to an ambient analog signal;
- and
- one or more processors to execute:
- logic to select an audio alert from a plurality of audio alerts based on parameters of the sampled ambient audio, wherein the audio alert is different from the ambient audio;
- and
- logic to generate the audio alert as an audible audio alert.
