Abstract
While a virtual reality environment is being presented to a user, at least a first sound in a real world environment in which the user physically is located can be detected. a nature of the first sound can be determined. Based on the nature of the first sound, a second sound that matches a theme of the virtual reality environment can be selected. The first sound can be masked by presenting the second sound to the user in the virtual reality environment.
