Abstract
Systems and methods are described for determining whether a user is authorized to perform an action that meets a goal of a sound. A media guidance application may detect a sound generated by a first device external to a media equipment device. The media guidance application may retrieve, from a lookup table, a known goal that is associated with the sound. The media guidance application may detect a user in a viewing environment. The media guidance application may determine an identity of the user, and may modify playback to encourage or discourage the user from achieving the known goal based on the identity of the user.
