Claim 0:
1. A method for use in connection with a media-presentation device having an associated presentation area, the method comprising:
obtaining presentation area data associated with the presentation area, wherein the presentation area data indicates an extent of background noise in the presentation area;
determining that the obtained presentation area data satisfies each and every condition of a condition set;
responsive to at least determining that the obtained presentation area data satisfies each and every condition of the condition set, identifying an upcoming media segment insertion point within a media program; and
facilitating the media-presentation device outputting for presentation a media segment starting at the identified media segment insertion point within the media program, wherein facilitating the media-presentation device outputting for presentation the media segment starting at the identified media segment insertion point within the media program comprises:
using the obtained presentation area data that indicates an extent of background noise in the presentation area as a basis to select a media segment from among a group of selectable media segments; and
inserting the selected media segment into the media program.
