Abstract
A method for delivering a message to a recipient in an environment with ambient noise includes the steps of recording the ambient noise in the environment at a certain time interval, analyzing the recorded ambient noise to obtain an average power Por a RMS amplitude Aof the ambient noise, providing a predetermined desired SNR, calculating an average signal power Por a RMS amplitude Aof the message to be delivered based on the Por Aand the desired SNR, and adjusting a volume of the message to be delivered according to the Por A. Alternatively, the actual SNRwill be computed and the message will be repeated if the SNRfalls below the SNR. Systems for delivering a message to a recipient in an environment with ambient noise and computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions for carrying out the methods are also provided.
