Abstract:
Example techniques relate to voice interaction in an environment with a media playback system that is playing back audio content. In an example implementation, while playing back first audio in a given environment at a given loudness: a playback device (a) detects that an event is anticipated in the given environment, the event involving playback of second audio and (b) determines a loudness of background noise in the given environment, the background noise comprising ambient noise in the given environment. The playback device ducks the first audio in proportion to a difference between the given loudness of the first audio and the determined loudness of the background noise and plays back the ducked first audio concurrently with the second audio.

Claim (Index 5):
The playback device of  claim 3 , wherein playing back the ducked first audio concurrently with the second audio comprises:\n determining that a difference between a loudness of the ducked first audio and a given dynamic range is (a) less than the determined loudness of the background noise or (b) greater than the determined loudness of the background noise; when the determined difference between the loudness of the ducked first audio and the given dynamic range is less than the determined loudness of the background noise, compressing the first audio to a dynamic range that is louder than the determined loudness of the background noise and playing back the compressed first audio; and when the determined difference between the loudness of the ducked first audio and the given dynamic range is greater than the determined loudness of the background noise, playing back the first audio without compression.
