Abstract
A method for dynamic playback of target sound. A target sound sequence is generated in accordance with a user setting and used to drive a speaker. A gain of the target sound sequence is adjusted based on one or more of detecting a user context, detecting an environment of a user, and detecting that media playback has started or stopped. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
