Summary:Methods and systems for performing at least one audio activity (e.g., conducting a phone call or playing music or other audio content) in an environment including by determining an estimated location of a user in the environment in response to sound uttered by the user (e.g., a voice command), and controlling the audio activity in response to determining the estimated user location. The environment may have zones which are indicated by a zone map and estimation of the user location may include estimating in which of the zones the user is located. The audio activity may be performed using microphones and loudspeakers which are implemented in or coupled to smart audio devices.
