     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     One or more embodiments are now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various embodiments. It is evident, however, that the various embodiments can be practiced without these specific details (and without applying to any particular networked environment or standard). 
     An audio adjustment and profile system is provided that can track individuals and speaker locations in an area to dynamically calibrate speakers to provide a uniform listening experience. The system can generate an acoustic model of a room and further calibrate speakers using the acoustic model. The audio adjustment and profile system can also use profile information associated with the listener to customize the listening experience based on the preference information in the profile information. The preference information can comprise mood preferences that emphasize certain frequencies and tones while limiting others. 
     To at least these and related ends, a system can comprise a processor and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising generating an acoustic model for an area, wherein the acoustic model is associated with acoustic feedback and an interference, and wherein the acoustic model is generated based on a first location of a speaker in the defined area. The operations can also comprise determining a second location of a mobile device in the area. The operations can also comprise obtaining profile data representative of an audio profile of preference information of a user identity associated with the mobile device, wherein the preference information indicates a preference for an aural element of an audio playback of audio data. The operations can also comprise generating an audio signal for the speaker based on the audio profile, the first location of the speaker and the second location of the mobile device, wherein, the audio signal being rendered by the speaker is to create an aural experience at the second location that corresponds to the aural element of the audio playback. 
     In another embodiment, a method can comprise determining, by a device comprising a processor, a first location of a mobile device in an area. The method can also comprise determining, by the device, a second location of a speaker in the area. The method can also comprise retrieving, by the device, an audio preference profile associated with the mobile device, wherein the audio preference profile comprises information associated with a sound preference to be applied to the speaker. The method can also comprise generating, by the device, an audio signal for the speaker based on a sound recording, wherein an acoustic element of the sound recording is adjusted based on the audio preference profile, an acoustic model of the area, the first location and the second location. 
     In another embodiment, a machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, facilitate performance of operations. The operations can comprise determining a first location of a mobile device in an area and determining a second location of a speaker in the area. The operations can also comprise obtaining an audio preference profile associated with the mobile device, wherein the audio preference profile comprises information associated with a sound preference to be applied to sound output of the speaker. The operations can also comprise generating an audio signal for the speaker based on a sound recording, wherein an acoustic element of the sound recording is adjusted based on the audio preference profile, an acoustic model of the area, the first location and the second location. 
     In an embodiment, the system will enable tracking of an individual user as they move around the room and feedback that position information to system that can update sound projection. Sound projection is generally defined as methods that capitalize on audio phase, reflectance, and sensed acoustic properties of materials within an environment to correctly recreate a stereo environment for an end user. 
     Secondly, the system can auto calibrate for different speaker position (even non-static or moving speakers), size, and acoustic signatures. Complementing traditional calibration techniques for home theaters, this auto calibration can optimally sense and configure large spaces like movie theaters and larger venues, like stadiums for “perfect sound” everywhere. Additionally, a distributed network of speakers can be utilized where via signal processing techniques, multiple mobile devices can be utilized (e.g. any speaker that can be altered for more accurate “sound projection”). 
     Thirdly, the system can integrate social networking concepts to audio processing, where audio sources (people, musical instruments, objects, etc.) can be mapped to “concepts” that can be individually positioned by the system or profiles tracking the concepts can be generated for individuals. The term “concept” refers to every source as a separable audio source but with additional semantic connotations. For example, a source may be a piano or guitar, but the concept for these sources may be “acoustic” or “electronic”. The concepts can describe both traditional acoustic properties (reverb, warmth, etc.) but also imply a real-world destination or location (outside vs inside, at Niagara Falls, in Times Square, etc.). 
     Turning now to  FIG. 1 , illustrated is an example schematic diagram  100  of a sound profile system  108  that can calibrate speaker output based on movement of a mobile device in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. 
     The sound profile system  108  can be a cloud based system that uses a Software as a Service model or similar distributed system. In other embodiments, the sound profile system  108  can be operated by a mobile network and operate from one or more servers in the network infrastructure. In other embodiments, the sound profile system  108  can operate as an application or service on one or more mobile devices. When operating on a mobile device, the sound profile system  108  can communicate and coordinate with other mobile devices that are operating other sound profile systems. It is to be appreciated that while in  FIG. 1 , the sound profile system  108  is shown outside of the mobile device  106 , in other embodiments, as described herein, the sound profile system  108  can operate as an application or service on mobile device  106 . 
     In an embodiment, sound profile system  108  can determine a location of mobile device  106 . The mobile device  106  location can be used as a proxy to determine a location of a user associated with the mobile device  106 . The sound profile system  108  can use the location of the mobile device  106  to calibrate and/or adjust the audio signals sent to speakers  102  and  104  to provide a calibrated listening experience for the user. The sound profile system  108  can adjust the phase of the audio signals and the volume and other acoustical attributes to adjust for the relative differences in distance of the mobile device  106  from each of speakers  102  and  104 . 
     In an embodiment, the mobile device  106  can move in the direction of arrow  110 , and the sound profile system  108  can track the movement and dynamically adjust the audio signals sent to speakers  102  and  104  to compensate for the movement of mobile device  106 . In an embodiment, the sound profile system  108  can adjust the audio signals sent to speakers  102  and  104  such that the aural experience at the mobile device  106  remains that same at the beginning of the playback of the audio as at the end, regardless of the movement of the mobile device  106 . In other embodiments, the audio signal(s) can be adjusted so that the listening experience (perceived volume, spatial positioning of the sound, etc.) matches a predetermined criterion (e.g., that established by the user associated with mobile device  106 , or established by a content creator). 
     In an embodiment, the sound profile system  108  can track the location of the mobile device  106  based on location information received from the mobile device  106 . The mobile device  106  can send coordinates (e.g., determined via GPS on the mobile device). In other embodiments, the sound profile system  108  can determine the location of the mobile device  106  based on a location determined by a mobile network associated with the mobile device  106 . In other embodiments, one or more sensors associated with the speakers  102  or  104  or other devices in an area near the mobile device  106  can track the location of the mobile device  106  within the area. For instance, if an audio playback is being performed in a room, the room can have one or more video cameras, motion sensors, IR detectors, magnetometers, NFC devices, etc., which can track the location and movement of the mobile device  106 . 
     In an embodiment, the sound profile system  108  can also construct an acoustic model of the area around the speakers  102  and  104 . In an embodiment, the sound profile system  108  can generate a known baseline audio signal that one or more of speakers  102  or  104  can playback. Microphones  112  or  114  can pick up the acoustic sound waves that come directly from the speakers  102  and  104  as well as reflect from the surrounding surfaces. Based on the reflections, the sound profile system  108  can generate an acoustic model of the area that can predict how acoustic signals will sound at various places in the room. In other embodiments, the sound profile system  108  can generate the acoustic model based on analysis of an image or set of images or video. Objects can be identified, the room shape can be determined, and other factors can be determined to assist in generating the acoustic model. 
     In an embodiment, the sound profile system  108  can generate the acoustic model based on one or both of speakers  102  and  104  playing back the baseline audio signal while microphones  112  and/or  114  are moved around the room or area. In other embodiments, the sound profile system  108  can continuously or dynamically update the acoustic model based on changing conditions in the room or area. The sound profile system  108  can continuously or periodically generate a baseline signal that can concurrently be played back by the speakers  102  and/or  104  with the main audio content, and based on changing conditions (e.g., weather, larger or smaller room, number of people in room/area, etc.) the sound profile system  108  can adjust the acoustic model. 
     It is to be appreciated that while  FIG. 1  shows two speakers, and one mobile device, in other embodiments, the sound profile system  108  can track the location of a plurality of mobile devices and adjust the audio signals to one or more speakers. 
     Turning now to  FIG. 2 , illustrated is an example schematic diagram  200  of a sound profile system  208  that can calibrate speaker output based on movement of a speaker  204  in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. 
     Not only can the sound profile system  208  calibrate and adjust speakers due to the movement of a listener associated with a mobile device by tracking the movement of the mobile device, but the sound profile system  208  can also track the movement and location of a speaker  204  that moves while a mobile device  206  associated with a listener stays still (as shown in  FIG. 2 ) or moves in other embodiments. 
     In the embodiment shown in  FIG. 2 , speakers  202  and  204  can be speakers that are part of a mobile device. The sound profile system  208  can use a distributed speaker system composed of dedicated mobile devices, or can use mobile devices associated with other users in the room or area in which the audio content is being played back. In that embodiment, the area and/or sound profile system  208  may not have dedicated speakers, but uses whatever speakers are available on mobile devices and other personal devices that are nearby. Users can opt-in on their mobile devices before the sound profile system  208  sends audio signals to the mobile devices associated with speakers  202  and  204  to play back the audio content. In other embodiments, the sound profile system  208  can have a mix of dedicated speakers not part of mobile devices, and speakers that are on mobile devices. 
     In an embodiment, sound profile system  208  can determine a location of speaker  202  and  204 . The speakers&#39; position can be known beforehand, or can be determined by the sound profile system  208  based on sensor information, network location information received from a mobile network, or location information received from the speakers  202  and  204 . For instance, if an audio playback is being performed in a room, the room can have one or more video cameras, motion sensors, IR detectors, magnetometers, NFC devices, etc., which can track the location and movement of the mobile device  106 . 
     In an embodiment, the sound profile system  208  can determine that speaker  204  is moving in the direction of the arrow  210  and calibrate and/or adjust the audio signals sent to speakers  202  and  204  to provide a calibrated listening experience for the user associated with mobile device  206 . The sound profile system  208  can adjust the phase of the audio signals and the volume and other acoustical attributes to adjust for the relative differences in distance of the mobile device  206  from each of speakers  202  and  204 . 
     In an embodiment, the sound profile system  208  can adjust the audio signals sent to speakers  202  and  204  such that the aural experience at the mobile device  206  remains that same at the beginning of the playback of the audio as at the end, regardless of the movement of speaker  204 . In other embodiments, the audio signal(s) can be adjusted so that the listening experience (perceived volume, spatial positioning of the sound, etc.) matches a predetermined criterion (e.g., that established by the user associated with mobile device  206 , or established by a content creator). 
     Turning now to  FIG. 3 , illustrated is an example schematic diagram  300  of a sound profile system  308  that can calibrate speaker output based on incorporating nearby speakers in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. 
     As discussed above, the sound profile system  308  may not have dedicated speakers, but uses whatever speakers are available on mobile devices and other personal devices that are nearby. Users can opt-in on their mobile devices before the sound profile system  308  sends audio signals to the speakers. In the embodiment shown in  FIG. 3 , speaker  302  can be on a mobile device, while speaker  304  can be a standalone speaker, dedicated or not, and mobile or fixed. Sound profile system  308 , rather than sending the same audio signal to each of speakers  302  and  304 , which may result in a discordant sound, sound profile system  308  can modulate the phase, pitch, timbre, volume, etc. to match the acoustic output of speakers  302  and  304  as much as possible. The audio signals can be further modulated based on the relative distance of mobile device  306  (associated with a listener) and the speakers  302  and  304  and further modulated based on the acoustic model of the area generated by the sound profile system  308 . 
     Turning now to  FIG. 4 , illustrated is an example schematic diagram  400  of a sound profile system  418  that can provide individualized audio playback based on profile information in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. 
     In an embodiment, sound profile system  418  can generate signals that provide personalized audio for listeners associated with mobile devices  402 ,  404 ,  406 , and  408  via speakers  410 ,  412 ,  414 , and  416  respectively. Each of the mobile devices  402 ,  404 ,  406 , and  408  can have associated sound profiles that contain audio preference information that sound profile system  418  can use to customize the audio output at speakers  410 ,  412 ,  414 , and  416  respectively. The sound profiles can be stored on the mobile devices and be retrieved by sound profile system  418  directly via a Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or NFC connection or via the mobile network. In other embodiments, the sound profiles can be stored on a mobile network or in the cloud and be retrieved by the sound profile system  418 . 
     The sound profiles can contain preferences relating to the pitch, timbre, volume/intensity, reverb, etc., of audio played back. The sound profile system  418  can thus modulate an audio signal associated with the audio content and generate personalized audio signals for each of speakers  410 ,  412 ,  414 , and  416 . 
     The sound profiles can also contain preferences relating to one or more filters that may further adjust the audio signal beyond the physical characteristics relating to frequency and intensity. The filters can relate to one or more effects that can affect the mood or other attribute of the audio. For instance, a listener associated with mobile device  402  may prefer music or audio to sound like warmer, and so the sound profile system  418  can apply a filter to adjust the audio signal based on the preferences. Likewise, a listener associated with mobile device  404  can prefer amplified voices relative to sound effects or music, and so sound profile system  418  can isolate vocal sources in the audio and increase the intensity of those sources to provide amplified vocal sounds in the audio signal sent to speaker  412 . 
     The sound profile system  418  can identify sources and apply concepts to the sources. Sources can be the source of the audio content in the audio signal. For instance, if the audio content is a song by a band, each of the instruments in the song can be a separate source. The term “concept” refers to every source as a separable audio source but with additional semantic connotations. For example, a source may be a piano or guitar, but the concept for these sources may be “acoustic” or “electronic”. The concepts can describe both traditional acoustic properties (reverb, warmth, etc.) but also imply a real-world destination or location (outside vs inside, at Niagara Falls, in Times Square, etc.). Usage information of concepts (favorite concept, how many audio sources possessed this concept, etc.) can be pooled into user profiles and preferences where these profiles will alter future sounds played through the system. For example, certain individuals may need frequency boosting in a certain range for hearing impairments while others may prefer a softer, more reverberant tone —both of which could be applied to audio, regardless of the original creator&#39;s capture environment. 
     Turning now to  FIG. 5 , illustrated is an example schematic diagram  500  of a sound profile system  508  that can provide individualized audio playback based on profile information in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. 
     In an embodiment, sound profile system  508  can playback audio associated with a virtual reality or augmented reality experience  510 . The user  514  of the virtual reality experience  510  can have a mobile device  502  that has an associated sound profile. When playing back audio from the virtual reality experience  510  via speakers  504  and  506 , the sound profile system  508  can adjust or modulate the audio signals sent to the speakers  504  and  506  based on the sound profile. 
     In an embodiment, there can be several sound sources in the virtual reality experience  510 , comprising, in an embodiment, a guitar  512  and a drum set  516 . The relative volumes and other acoustic signature parameters can be set in the audio signal, but the sound profile system  508  can adjust the audio signal to boost the volume of one or more of the sources based on the preference information in the sound profile associated with the mobile device  502 . 
     Furthermore, the position of the sound sources  512  and  516  in the virtual reality experience  510  relative to the listener  514  can be simulated by adjusting the phase, volume, and pitch relationships of the sources in the audio signals sent to speakers  504  and  506  such that the listener  514  associated with mobile device  502  hears the sources coming from positions and locations in the real world similar to that experienced in the virtual reality or augmented reality experience  510 . 
     Turning now to  FIG. 6 , illustrated is an example schematic diagram  600  of a sound profile system  602  in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. 
     In an embodiment, a modeling component  606  can be included that can generate an acoustic model for an area, wherein the acoustic model is associated with acoustic feedback and an interference, and wherein the acoustic model is generated based on a first location of a speaker in the defined area. A location component  604  can included to determine the location of the speaker, as well as determining a location of a mobile device in the area. 
     A profile component  608  can be present to obtain profile data representative of an audio profile of preference information of a user identity associated with the mobile device, wherein the preference information indicates a preference for an aural element of an audio playback of audio data. A generation component  610  can be present to generate an audio signal for the speaker based on the audio profile, the first location of the speaker and the second location of the mobile device, wherein, the audio signal being rendered by the speaker is to create an aural experience at the second location that corresponds to the aural element of the audio playback. 
     In an embodiment, the modeling component  606  can generate a baseline audio signal that one or more speakers can playback. One or more microphones can pick up the acoustic sound waves that come directly from the speakers  102  and  104  as well as reflect off the surrounding surfaces. Based on the reflections, the modeling component  606  can generate an acoustic model of the area that can predict how acoustic signals will sound at various places in the room. In other embodiments, the modeling component  606  can generate the acoustic model based on analysis of an image or set of images or video. Objects can be identified, the room shape can be determined, and other factors can be determined to assist in generating the acoustic model. 
     In an embodiment, the modeling component  606  can generate the acoustic model based on one or more speakers playing back the baseline audio signal while one or more microphones are moved around the room or area in order to map acoustic signatures are various areas in the room. In other embodiments, the modeling component  606  can continuously or dynamically update the acoustic model based on changing conditions in the room or area. The modeling component  606  can continuously or periodically generate a baseline signal that can concurrently be played back by the speakers  102  and/or  104  with the main audio content, and based on changing conditions (e.g., weather, larger or smaller room, number of people in room/area, etc.) the modeling component  606  can adjust the acoustic model. 
     The location component  604  can track the location of one or more mobile devices based on location information received from the mobile devices. The mobile devices can send coordinates (e.g., determined via GPS on the mobile device). In other embodiments, the location component  604  can determine the location of the mobile devices based on a location determined by a mobile network associated with the mobile devices. In other embodiments, one or more sensors associated with the speakers or other devices in an area near the mobile devices can track the location of sound profile system  602  within the area. For instance, if an audio playback is being performed in a room, the room can have one or more video cameras, motion sensors, IR detectors, magnetometers, NFC devices, Wi-Fi antennas, etc., which can track the location and movement of the mobile devices. 
     The profile component  608  can determine preference data from a sound profile associated with the mobile devices. The sound profiles can contain preferences relating to the pitch, timbre, volume/intensity, reverb, etc., of audio played back. The generation component  610  can thus modulate an audio signal associated with the audio content and generate personalized audio signals for each speaker. 
     The sound profiles can also contain preferences relating to one or more filters that may further adjust the audio signal beyond the physical characteristics relating to frequency and intensity. The filters can relate to one or more effects that can affect the mood or other attribute of the audio. For instance, a listener associated may prefer music or audio to sound like warmer, and so the profile component  608  can apply a filter to adjust the audio signal based on the preferences. Likewise, a listener can prefer to have amplified voices relative to sound effects or music, and so profile component  608  can isolate vocal sources in the audio and increase the intensity of those sources to provide amplified vocal sounds in the audio signal sent to speaker. 
     The profile component  608  can identify sources and apply concepts to the sources. Sources can be the source of the audio content in the audio signal. For instance, if the audio content is a song by a band, each of the instruments in the song can be a separate source. The term “concept” refers to every source as a separable audio source but with additional semantic connotations. For example, a source may be a piano or guitar, but the concept for these sources may be “acoustic” or “electronic”. The concepts can describe both traditional acoustic properties (reverb, warmth, etc.) but also imply a real-world destination or location (outside vs inside, at Niagara Falls, in Times Square, etc.). Usage information of concepts (favorite concept, how many audio sources possessed this concept, etc.) can be pooled into user profiles and preferences where these profiles will alter future sounds played through the system. For example, certain individuals may need frequency boosting in a certain range for hearing impairments while others may prefer a softer, more reverberant tone —both of which could be applied to audio, regardless of the original creator&#39;s capture environment. 
       FIGS. 7-8  illustrates a process in connection with the aforementioned systems. The process in  FIGS. 7-8  can be implemented for example by the systems in  FIGS. 1-6  respectively. While for purposes of simplicity of explanation, the methods are shown and described as a series of blocks, it is to be understood and appreciated that the claimed subject matter is not limited by the order of the blocks, as some blocks may occur in different orders and/or concurrently with other blocks from what is depicted and described herein. Moreover, not all illustrated blocks may be required to implement the methods described hereinafter. 
     Turning now to  FIG. 7 , illustrated is an example flowchart  700  of a sound calibration system in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure. 
     The flowchart can start with a user  702  who is tracked by a tracking system  704 . The tracking system  704  can track the user via location information from a mobile device associated with the user, or via network location information from a mobile network associated with the mobile device. In other embodiments, the tracking system can employ cameras or other sensors to track the location of the user  702 . The tracking system  704  can also track the user location in a room as well as tracking objects in a room via image analysis or other sensor information. The locations can be sent to a connected amplification system  708  that can update a concept (sound source e.g.,) system with the user location in accordance with a sound concept system  710 . 
     The sound concept system  710  can retrieve profile information about the user  702  from an online profile database  712 , and update the concepts with the preferences. The sound concept system  710  can then identify a speaker configuration in the room for sound projection, and based on the analysis, the connected amplification system  708  can configure the speakers  706 . The speakers can project the sound accordingly based on the profile information, sound concepts, and object and user location. The tracking system  704  can update the user  702  location and object information and move the speakers  706  accordingly. 
     Turning now to  FIG. 8 , illustrated is an example method  800  for a sound calibration system in accordance with various aspects and embodiments of the subject disclosure.

     At  804 , the method comprises determining, by the device, a second location of a speaker in the area (e.g., by the location component  604 ). 
     At  806 , the method comprises retrieving, by the device, an audio preference profile associated with the mobile device, wherein the audio preference profile comprises information associated with a sound preference to be applied to the speaker (e.g., by the profile component  608 ). 
     At  808 , the method comprises generating, by the device, an audio signal for the speaker based on a sound recording, wherein an acoustic element of the sound recording is adjusted based on the audio preference profile, an acoustic model of the area, the first location and the second location (e.g., by the generation component  610 ). 
     Referring now to  FIG. 9 , illustrated is a schematic block diagram of an example end-user device such as a user equipment (e.g., mobile device  106 ,  206 ,  306 , or  502 ) that can be a mobile device  900  capable of connecting to a network in accordance with some embodiments described herein.

Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices. 
     Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows connection to the Internet from a couch at home, a bed in a hotel room, or a conference room at work, without wires. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology similar to that used in a cell phone that enables such devices, e.g., computers, to send and receive data indoors and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE802.11 (a, b, g, n, etc.) to provide secure, reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to wired networks (which use IEEE802.3 or Ethernet). Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands, at an 11 Mbps (802.11b) or 54 Mbps (802.11a) data rate, for example, or with products that contain both bands (dual band), so the networks can provide real-world performance similar to the basic “10BaseT” wired Ethernet networks used in many offices.
