Systems and methods disclosed herein include: (i) forming a synchrony playback group including a first and second playback device, (ii) causing the first and second playback devices to play back audio content in synchrony, (iii) while the first and second playback devices are playing back the audio content in synchrony, determining that the first playback device has received a voice input via a microphone, (iv) based on the voice input, determining that a requirement exists to output a system response to the voice input, (v) determining a sound pressure level (SPL) measurement associated with the voice input, (vi) based on the SPL measurement, determining a system response volume, (vii) causing the first and second playback devices to reduce an audio playback volume of the audio content, and (viii) causing the first and/or the second playback device to output the system response at the system response volume.

Dynamic computation of system response volume

Systems and methods disclosed herein include, determining that a requirement exists to output a system response. In response to determining that a requirement exists to output a system response, (i) setting a system response volume for a first speaker associated with a first networked device and (ii) outputting a system response at the set system response volume via the first speaker associated with the first networked device.
