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 9):
The playback device of  claim 1 , wherein playing back the ducked first audio concurrently with the second audio comprises:\n detecting that a signal-to-noise ratio within the given environment is below a voice input threshold; and responsively, filtering the first audio, wherein filtering the first audio comprises cutting the first audio in a frequency range corresponding to human speech.
