Audio communication between proximate devices

A first device of a first user, the first wearable audio device comprising:

• a communications interface;
• a user interface for interacting with the first user;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable media comprising machine-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive through the user interface a first signal representative of an environment surrounding the first device;
• receive through the communications interface a second signal representative of speech from a second user and second ambient noise from an environment surrounding a second device capturing and sending the second signal;
• determine from the first signal (1) a first portion of the first signal representative of the speech from the second user, wherein the first portion is determined as primary audio, and (2) one or more second portions of the first signal representative of the first ambient noise, wherein the one or more second portions are determined as secondary audio;
• determine a first portion of the second signal having at least a threshold amount of overlap with the first portion of the first signal, wherein the first portion of the second signal is representative of the speech from the second user;
• determine one or more second portions of the second signal having less than a threshold amount of overlap with the first portion of the first signal, wherein the one or more second portions of the second signal are representative of the second ambient noise;
• and
• generate through the user interface an adjusted output such that the first user hears the first portion of the second signal at a higher volume in comparison to a combination of the one or more second portions of the second signal and the one or more second portions of the first signal.

A first device of a first user, the first device comprising:

• a communications interface;
• a user interface for interacting with the first user;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable media comprising machine-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• receive through the user interface a first signal representative of an environment surrounding the first device;
• receive through the communications interface a second signal representative of speech from a second user and second ambient noise from an environment surrounding a second device;
• receive, at the first wearable audio device through the communications interface a third signal representative of speech from a third user and third ambient noise from an environment surrounding a third device;
• determine from the first signal (1) a first portion of the first signal representative of the speech from the second user, wherein the first portion is determined as primary audio, and (2) one or more second portions of the first signals representative of the first ambient noise, wherein the one or more second portions are determined as secondary audio;
• determine a first portion of the second signal having a greater amount of overlap with the first portion of the first signals than the third audio signals;
• and
• generate through the user interface an adjusted output using the second audio signals but not the third audio signals.
