Abstract
A method includes determining, by a processor of an electronic device, current sound environment properties of an environment external to a user, current device properties of a sound playback device, and current media properties of media that is played through the sound playback device. The method further includes generating, by the processor based on (a) the current sound environment properties, (b) the current device properties, and (c) the current media properties, an adaptive masking soundscape that, when combined with external sounds in the environment, renders the external sounds less perceptible to the user. In addition, the method includes playing the adaptive masking soundscape through the sound playback device.
