Claim Text:
1. A system for detecting and responding to at least one noise, the system comprising: a detection unit comprising: the digital-to-analog converter configured to receive an outbound digital signal from the digital computing device, convert the outbound digital signal to an outbound analog signal, and transmit the outbound analog signal to the speaker acoustic output; the speaker acoustic output configured to receive the outbound analog signal from the digital-to-analog converter and to output an outbound acoustic signal responsive thereto into the environment in which the detection unit is located to produce a reflection of the outbound acoustic signal from the environment; the microphone acoustic input configured to receive an inbound acoustic signal and to provide an inbound analog signal, the inbound acoustic signal including the reflection of the outbound acoustic signal; the analog-to-digital converter coupled between the microphone acoustic input and the digital computing device; the digital computing device coupled to the transmitter; the digital computing device configured to perform an analysis on the inbound digital signal, the analysis to determine at least one of: if the inbound digital signal correlates with the inbound acoustic signal being the specific noise, and an acoustic mapping of the environment in which the detection unit is located, the digital computing device additionally configured to send a first signal to the transmitter if the analysis determines that the inbound digital signal is consistent with the inbound acoustic signal being the specific noise, and to record the acoustic mapping of the environment in which the system is located onto a storage medium,
