In various embodiments, a communication application selectively modifies sounds associated with a selected location or entity in one or more images. In operation, the communication application receives an image of an environment of a first device and an audio signal associated with the environment. The communication application receives first user input selecting a location in the image, and modifies a first sound included in the audio signal based on the selected location in the image, where at least a portion of the audio signal is unmodified.
