METHODS, SYSTEMS AND MEDIA FOR AMBIENT BACKGROUND NOISE MODIFICATION BASED ON MOOD AND/OR BEHAVIOR INFORMATION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods, systems and media for ambient background noise modification. SOLUTION: The method comprises: identifying at least one noise present in an environment of a user having a user device, an activity the user is currently engaged in, and a physical or emotional state of the user; determining a target ambient noise to be produced in the environment based at least in part on the identified noise, the activity the user is currently engaged in, and the physical or emotional state of the user; identifying at least one device associated with the user device to be used to produce the target ambient noise; and determining sound outputs corresponding to each of one or more identified devices. A combination of the sound outputs produces an approximation of one or more characteristics of the target ambient noise, and causes the one or more identified devices to produce the determined sound outputs.
