Abstract

A display device comprises a sensing subsystem configured to detect one or more conditions associated with touch input to the display device occurring via a contact of an input object at a surface of the display device. The display device further comprises a microphone system configured to receive sound, a logic machine, and a storage machine holding instructions. The instructions are executable by the logic machine to determine, based on the one or more conditions, a time of the contact; determine, based on at least the time of the contact, some characteristics of the contact; and generate an audio output via applying a selective attenuation to process sound received into the microphone system. The selective attenuation is selected based on the sonic characteristics and applied over a time interval beginning at the determined time of contact.
