Take a moment to listen to the world around you. Maybe you are listening to a podcast or the sounds of office life filtered through noise-canceling headphones. Or perhaps you're on a train or lulled by the sound of a dishwasher. Our brains are constantly taking in the sounds around us and giving us useful information. In the coming few years, computers will begin to also process those noises to understand what's happening around them to modify the environment, improve hearing, and notify us if something is wrong.
