1. A playback device comprising:
a network interface;
an audio transducer;
a microphone;
at least one processor;
a housing carrying the network interface, audio transducer, the microphone, and the at least one processor; and
data storage including instructions that are executable by at least one processor such that the playback device is configured to:
capture, via the microphone, a voice input;
send data representing the voice input to a voice assistant for processing;
play back, via the audio transducer, first audio content;
capture, via the microphone, audio data representing reflections of the first audio content within an environment in which the playback device is located;
determine an acoustic response of the environment from the captured audio data;
query a dataset for a particular stored acoustic response that corresponds to the determined acoustic response of the environment in which the playback device is located, wherein the dataset relates a plurality of stored acoustic responses to respective calibrations;
apply to the playback device a particular calibration returned from the query of the dataset; and
while the particular calibration is applied, play back, via the audio transducer, second audio content.
