Abstract: Digital signal processing for microphone partial occlusion detection is described. In one embodiment, an electronic system for audio noise processing and for noise reduction, using a plurality of microphones, includes a first noise estimator to process a first audio signal from a first one of the microphones, and generate a first noise estimate. The electronic system also includes a second noise estimator to process the first audio signal, and a second audio signal from a second one of the microphones, in parallel with the first noise estimator, and generate a second noise estimate. A microphone partial occlusion detector determines a low frequency band separation of the first and second audio signals and a high frequency band separation of the first and second audio signals to generate a microphone partial occlusion function that indicates whether one of the microphones is partially occluded.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for generation of a self-voice signal by an electronic device that is operating in an active noise cancellation mode. In this way, during a phone call, a video conference, or while listening to audio content, a user of the electronic device may benefit from active cancellation of ambient noise while still being able to hear their own voice when they speak. In various implementations described herein, the concurrent self-voice and automatic noise cancellation features are facilitated by accelerometer-based control of sidetone and/or active noise cancellation operations.

Abstract: Implementations of the subject technology provide systems and methods for providing environment-based audio processing for audio devices. Environment-based audio processing may include identifying an environmental condition in a physical environment of an audio device, and deactivating one or more digital signal processors and/or neural networks based on the environmental condition.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to a device including a microphone, a filter and a processor. The filter receives an audio signal including ambient noise and a voice of a user of the device from the microphone. At least a portion of ambient noise is filtered from the audio signal. The processor determines a level of the ambient noise in the received audio signal and dynamically adjusts a gain applied to the filtered audio signal based on the level of the ambient noise.
