Abstract
Implementations generally relate to noise cancelation for loud ambient transient sound. In some implementations, a method includes capturing, by a one or more microphones coupled to one or more earbuds, ambient sounds from an environment of the user while the user is wearing the one or more earbuds. The method further includes enabling, by the one or more earbuds, the user to hear the ambient sounds and media content sounds. The method further includes attenuating the ambient sounds based on one or more noise cancellation policies.

A system comprising:
- one or more earbuds configured to be inserted into ears of a user;
- one or more microphones coupled to the one or more earbuds;
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more earbuds;
- and
- logic encoded in one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for execution by the one or more processors and when executed operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- capturing, by the one or more microphones, ambient sounds from an environment of the user while the user is wearing the one or more earbuds;
- enabling, by the one or more earbuds, the user to hear the ambient sounds and media content sounds;
- and
- attenuating the ambient sounds based on one or more noise cancellation policies.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with program instructions stored thereon, the program instructions when executed by one or more processors are operable to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- capturing, by a one or more microphones coupled to one or more earbuds, ambient sounds from an environment of a user while the user is wearing the one or more earbuds;
- enabling, by the one or more earbuds, the user to hear the ambient sounds and media content sounds;
- and
- attenuating the ambient sounds based on one or more noise cancellation policies.
