Abstract

A method and system for modifying an audio signal, the method comprising: receiving the audio signal at signal processing means; analysing the received audio signal to identify characteristic signal components in the audio signal; determining that another signal is input to the signal processing means, the input signal resulting from an activity which generates noise in the audio signal; and selectively applying an adjusted gain to the audio signal based on the determination that the input signal is input to the signal processing means, wherein the adjusted gain is generated in dependence upon the signal strength of the identified signal components.
