Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
obtaining audio from an environment that may have one or more unwanted noise sources;
converting the audio to digital audio data;
analyzing, by a noise detector, the digital audio data to determine whether noise is detected in the audio;
determining, by the noise detector, that noise is detected in the audio;
generating, by the noise detector, a confidence level when detecting noise in the audio;
generating, by the noise detector, a mixer control based on the confidence level;
performing noise removal on the digital audio data to remove the noise from the audio to produce first processed digital audio data based on determining that noise is detected in the audio;
determining, by the noise detector, that noise is not detected in the audio;
processing the digital audio data without performing noise removal on the digital audio data to produce second processed digital audio data based on determining that noise is not detected in the audio; and
mixing the first processed digital audio data and the second processed digital audio data based on the mixer control to produce mixed audio data, wherein an amount of the first processed digital audio data in the mixed audio data is determined based on the confidence level.
