The method of claim 9 , wherein the time frame starts at a first detection of the second threshold, wherein the first violation comprises detecting the second threshold a certain number of times within the time frame, and wherein if the certain number is not detected within the time frame, then the time frame starts over at an additional detection of the second threshold.
11. A system, comprising:
one or more processors;
memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
setting at least one threshold for properties of at least one sound, wherein the at least one threshold comprises a first threshold, and wherein the at least one sound comprises a first sound received at a first device;
monitoring changes in properties of the first sound over time at the first device;
detecting a first violation of the first threshold for the first sound; and
providing a first notification based on the detection of the first violation.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first notification is an increase in a side tone gain at the first device.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein a first user sets the first threshold to be a first power level measured at a microphone of the first device.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the power level measures a volume of the voice of the first user.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein a first user sets a second threshold for the sound of the voice, wherein the second threshold is a second level of the volume of the voice of the first user, and further comprising, after providing the first notification, detecting a second violation of the second threshold and providing a second notification.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein a first user sets a second threshold, wherein the detecting the first violation comprises detecting at least one of the first threshold and the second threshold, wherein the first notification is a variable alert type, and wherein the variable alert type depends whether the first threshold is detected or the second threshold is detected.
