Personalized equalization of audio output based on ambient noise detection

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving audio content for presentation by an audio playback device;
• detecting, via an acoustic sensor of the audio playback device, ambient noise in an environment surrounding the audio playback device;
• determining a classification for the environment based on one or more characteristics of the detected ambient noise, the classification indicating an amount of ambient noise in the environment;
• identifying information describing one or more anthropometric features of a user of the audio playback device, the information including dimensional measurements of physical characteristics of the user;
• determining, using the classification value and the information describing the one or more anthropometric features, an equalization filter personalized to the user, wherein the equalization filter adjusts one or more acoustic parameters of the received audio content;
• determining, using the classification value, a leakage control parameter, wherein the leakage control parameter sets a degree of attenuation for the received audio content that is inversely proportional to the amount of ambient noise in the environment;
• applying the equalization filter and the leakage control parameter to the received audio content;
• and
• providing, via one or more acoustic speakers, the received audio content to which the equalization filter and the leakage control parameter were applied to a user.

An audio playback device comprising:

• an acoustic sensor configured to detect ambient noise in an environment surrounding the audio playback device;
• an audio controller configured to:
• receive audio content for presentation by an audio playback device;
• determine a classification for the environment based on one or more characteristics of the detected ambient noise, the classification indicating an amount of ambient noise in the environment;
• identify information describing one or more anthropometric features of a user of the audio playback device, the information including dimensional measurements of physical characteristics of the user;
• determine, using the classification value and the information describing the one or more anthropometric features, an equalization filter, wherein the equalization filter adjusts one or more acoustic parameters of the received audio content;
• determine, using the classification value, a leakage control parameter, wherein the leakage control parameter sets a degree of attenuation for the received audio content that is inversely proportional to the amount of ambient noise in the environment;
• apply the equalization filter and the leakage control parameter to the received audio content;
• and
• one or more acoustic speakers configured to provide the received audio content to which the equalization filter and the leakage control parameter were applied.
