An example device comprises: a surface-type sensor to detect a type of surface on which the device is located; a proximity sensor; and a processor. The processor is to: in response to detecting, using the surface-type sensor, that the device is located on a soft-type surface, increase noise output of the device; and, in response to detecting, using the proximity sensor, that a plurality of persons are proximal the device, decrease the noise output of the device.
