Automatic adaptive noise cancellation for electronic devices

A device, comprising:

• memory;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• obtain a mixing curve;
• and
• dynamically adjust a mix of a pass-through audio signal and a noise cancellation signal in a mixed output signal, based on a mixing value obtained, from the mixing curve, using a current ambient sound level, wherein the mixing curve defines a first ambient sound level below which only pass-through audio signal is used in the mixed output signal, a second ambient sound level above which only the noise cancelling signal is used in the mixed output signal, and a variable amount of mixing of the pass-through audio signal and the noise cancelling signal for ambient noise levels between the first ambient sound level and the second ambient sound level.
