This disclosure describes, in part, techniques and devices for identifying recurring environmental sounds in an environment such that these sounds may be canceled out of corresponding audio signals to increase signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) of the signals and, hence, improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) on the signals. Recurring environmental sounds may include the ringing of a mobile phone, the beeping sound of a microphone, the buzzing of a washing machine, or the like.
