Abstract
A method performed by a wearable audio output device worn by a user is provided for controlling the reproduction of external noise. At least one sound is detected in the vicinity of the audio output device using at least one microphone in the audio output device. A state of motion of the user is detected using at least one sensor in the audio output device. Based on the at least one sound and the state of motion of the user, at least one of a level of attenuation or a level of noise masking is determined to be applied by the audio output device to the external noise.
