Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which, when executed by an electronic device configured to be responsive to any of a plurality of affordances, the plurality of affordances including: (i) an audio-based affordance comprising a hotword, and (ii) a non-audio-based affordance, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
determining a noise profile of an environment associated with the electronic device;
prior to detecting the audio-based affordance, determining that the noise profile of the environment exceeds a volume level threshold that would interfere with recognition of the hotword of the audio-based affordance, wherein the volume level threshold is defined based on a predefined distance from the electronic device; and
based on determining that the noise profile of the environment would interfere with recognition of the hotword, presenting an indication to use the non-audio-based affordance other than the audio-based affordance to awaken the electronic device.
