Abstract
A system includes a first housing that houses a plurality of mechanical keys. A first microphone that is configured to detect a dynamic noise is located within the first housing and under the mechanical keys. A second microphone is configured to detect acoustic waves that include speech and to convert the acoustic waves into an electrical audio signal. The dynamic noise is not associated with the detected speech. The system further includes a dynamic audio signal filter that is configured to suppress, in the electrical audio signal, dynamic noise, and the dynamic audio signal filter is activated in response to the first microphone detecting the dynamic noise.
