I'm dealing with an HVAC intake near my TV that makes it hard to keep the volume steady during the summer months. I'm looking for a solution similar to what my AirPods do—where the volume automatically increases when there's more background noise. Is there a speaker out there that can do this?

I’m not sure if there’s a specific speaker that does that, but it shouldn’t be too hard to set up a small computer that monitors the ambient volume. You could use IR to change the TV's volume, which would help a lot. Just keep in mind that figuring out the ambient noise levels compared to the TV sound might be tough.
You actually don't need a special type of speaker for this! I had a similar idea a while back. If you're comfortable with tech, you could set up a script in Python along with a microphone to monitor the ambient noise and adjust the volume accordingly. It's a bit tricky to set up, but it's a free way to achieve what you're looking for!
Do AirPods really do that? I've never heard about it before!
Yeah, the newer models of AirPods Pro have a feature called "Personalized Volume" that adjusts based on background noise.
Yeah, that sounds challenging! Wouldn’t want them to interfere with each other.
