Abstract:
A system and method for quieting unwanted sound. As a non-limiting example, various aspects of this disclosure provide a system and method, for example implemented in a premises-based or home audio system, for quieting unwanted sound at a particular location.

Claim (Index 23):
An audio system comprising:\n at least one module operable to, at least:\n characterize a relationship between a sound signal and a received sound utilizing a microphone that is positioned outside a target zone of sound cancellation, where the sound signal is used to cause a loudspeaker to output an output sound and the received sound is the output sound as received at a location; \n identify a sound at the location; \n determine, based at least in part on the characterized relationship, a cancellation signal that, when used to cause the loudspeaker to output a counteracting sound, will quiet the identified sound at the location; and \n generate the cancellation signal to cause the loudspeaker to output the counteracting sound, \n wherein the at least one module is operable to determine the cancellation signal by, at least in part, operating to, independent of user input, set a magnitude of the cancellation signal to a level below that determined for ideal cancellation.
