Abstract:
Background audio can be provided during telephonic communication. Telephonic communication can be established via a network, such as between a user of a telephony device and a communication partner having a second telephony device. A voice signal may be received from the user via a microphone integral with the telephony device. An audio track can be retrieved, for example, from memory integral with the telephony device or from a third-party service provider via the communications network. Noise reduction is performed on the voice signal to produce a clean voice signal. The clean voice signal may be combined with the audio track to produce a combined signal, such that the audio track provides background audio to the clean voice signal. The combined signal can then be transmitted from the telephony device to the second telephony device via the communications network.
