Claim 7:
8. An electronic device, comprising:
a microphone array;
a processor; and
memory having instructions stored therein which when executed by the processor causes the electronic device to:
detect, using the microphone array, a first sound event from within an environment in which the electronic device is located;
determine, using a machine learning (ML) model, whether the first sound event is produced by an artificial sound source or a live sound source;
responsive to determining that the first sound event is produced by the artificial sound source, determine a location of the artificial sound source with respect to the electronic device;
detect, using the microphone array, a second sound event from within the environment, wherein the second sound event is detected after the first sound event;
determine whether the second sound event originated from the location of the artificial sound source; and
responsive to determining that the second sound event did not originate from the location, output a notification that indicates that a live sound event has occurred within the environment.
