Presented herein are techniques for enabling a user of a wearable or implantable device to define noise sources for suppression/attenuation in an ambient environment. In particular, a plurality of devices within the ambient environment form a wearable or implantable system. The plurality of devices capture environmental signals (e.g., sound signals, visual signals, etc.) from the ambient environment and the system determines, from the environmental signals, one or more noise sources present in an ambient environment. The system is configured to determine at least one user-preferred noise source from the one or more noise sources for suppression (attenuation) and, accordingly, suppress the at least one user-preferred noise source within the environmental signals to generate noise-suppressed environmental signals. In certain examples, the system generates stimulation signals from the noise-suppressed environmental signals and the system delivers the stimulation signals to a user.
