Abstract

An example implementation may involve a playback device receiving a command that instructs the playback device to emit a calibration sound and responsively causing one or more speakers to emit a periodic calibration sound that covers a calibration frequency range. The periodic calibration sound may include (i) a first component that includes noise at frequencies between a minimum of the calibration frequency range and a first threshold frequency, and (ii) a second component that sweeps through frequencies between a second threshold frequency and a maximum of the calibration frequency range.
