Abstract
According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for reducing volume of a wireless audio device is provided. The embodiment may include monitoring, via a listening device, audible sounds and corresponding sound levels at a first location of an environment; identifying an audible sound at the first location with a corresponding sound level which exceeds a decibel threshold of the environment; creating a list of Bluetooth-enabled (BE) speakers, sorted by decreasing signal strength, discoverable via the listening device; capturing a segment of the audible sound; sending, from the listening device, a volume reduction request to a topmost BE speaker of the list located at a second location of the environment; responsive to receiving, at the listening device, a notification of match from the topmost BE speaker, re-measuring the corresponding sound level; and confirming the corresponding sound level is compliant with the decibel threshold.
