Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for context assisted noise reduction are disclosed. In one example, noise data associated with background noise detected by a microphone at a mobile device is received. The noise data is processed to identify whether a threshold noise level has been exceeded. An event notification is transmitted, where the event notification is operable to initiate identifying a location having a reduced background noise.
