Claim 8:
9. A method, comprising determining, using one or more processors, a state of a device and, respondent to the determined state of the device being an active state:
determining, using the one or more processors, a background noise level;
smoothing, using the one or more processors, the determined background noise level by applying a weight factor to the determined background noise level;
calculating, using the one or more processors based on the smoothed noise level, a volume gain;
comparing, using the one or more processors, the calculated volume gain to a threshold gain; and
applying, using the one or more processors, the calculated volume gain to increase or decrease a playback volume of the device when the calculated volume gain is less than the threshold gain.
