    摘要: Noise suppression in audio signals received by a voice activated device is supported with motion sensors. Motion sensors may provide an indication of movement or motion information, such as the linear or rotational displacement of the voice activated device. A noise reduction unit, which is held in idle mode to conserve power, may be activated in response to an indication of movement. When activated, the noise reduction unit may adapt to environmental noise from the new location or orientation, and switch back to idle mode. When speech is subsequently detected in audio signals, the noise reduction unit has already adapted to the noise and accordingly may reduce noise in the audio signal with no delay when activated. Additionally or alternatively, motion information may be used by the noise reduction unit to quickly adapt to noise in the audio signal.
