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 14):
The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein ducking the first audio while recording audio representing the voice input to the voice assistant service comprises ducking the first audio to a first volume level, and wherein ducking the first audio while playing back the ducked first audio concurrently with the second audio representing the spoken response to the voice input comprises ducking the first audio to a second volume level that is different from the first level.
