Abstract
A ray trace simulation may be performed using a model of a user's environment. A decay rate of the environment may be measured in one or more microphone signals that capture sound in the user's environment. A room impulse response of the environment may be generated from the ray trace simulation. The model of the environment may be modified based on the decay rate of the environment and the room impulse response.
