Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, including: creating, for a user, a sound desirability index comprising (i) a plurality of sounds and (ii) desirability of the sound to the user with respect to each of the plurality of sounds, wherein the sound desirability index is created in response to the user hearing a sound and the environment of the user when hearing the sound; receiving an audible input within hearing proximity of the user; identifying the current environment of the user; determining the desirability of the audible input to the user by accessing the sound desirability index, and determining the desirability of the audible input based upon a sound in the audible input and the current environment of the user; and modifying a characteristic of at least a portion of the audible input based upon the desirability of the audible input to the user.
