Zusammenfassung:Examples disclosed herein provide the ability for a computing device to determine a noise threshold to wake on ambient noises. In one example method, the computing device tracks sound, detected by a microphone of the computing device, over a period of time and, based on the sound tracked over the period of time, determines a noise threshold. The computing device tunes a sensitivity of the microphone to wake the computing device when ambient noise, detected by the microphone, is to have a signal strength equal to or exceeding the noise threshold.
