Adjusting Transmit Audio at Near-end Device Based on Background Noise at Far-end Device

A method at a near-end device, the method comprising:

• capturing, at the near-end device, a background noise signal;
• transmitting, to a far-end device, a digital representation of the background noise signal;
• receiving, from the far-end device, a digital representation of voice audio generated based at least in part on the digital representation of the background noise signal;
• generating an output speech signal from the digital representation of the voice audio;
• and
• playing back the output speech signal.

A computing device comprising:

• a processor implemented in hardware;
• a microphone;
• and
• a computer-readable storage media having stored thereon multiple instructions that, responsive to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform acts including:
• receiving, from a far-end device, a digital representation of a background noise at the far-end device;
• receiving, using the microphone, voice audio from a user of the computing device;
• adjusting, based at least in part on the digital representation of the background noise, the voice audio for playback at the far-end device;
• and
• transmitting, to the far-end device, the adjusted voice audio.
