Analyzing noise levels to determine usability of microphones
This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for detecting that a microphone of a voice-enabled device is unusable due to noise levels around the microphone, and indicating to a user that the device has become unusable due to, for example, buffeting. The device may analyze audio signals to determi...

| description | This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for detecting that a microphone of a voice-enabled device is unusable due to noise levels around the microphone, and indicating to a user that the device has become unusable due to, for example, buffeting. The device may analyze audio signals to determine that the noise levels are too high to perform speech-processing techniques to detect voice. The device may utilize speakers to output sounds, and/or LEDs to output light, to indicate noise levels and/or that the device is unable to detect voice due to buffeting. In this way, the device may indicate that a user needs to speak loudly to be heard, move their device, and/or reduce sound in the environment to use the speech-processing abilities of the device. |
