1. A computer-implemented method for automatically controlling an audio output device communicatively coupled to an audio device, the method comprising:
interactively receiving, while concurrently receiving a first ambient noise, a change in audio settings of the audio output device, wherein the audio settings include a volume setting of the audio output device;
detecting a first sound based at least in part on the first ambient noise;
automatically generating an audio preference for training the audio output device, wherein the audio preference includes the detected first sound and the received change in the audio settings;
receiving, by the trained audio output device, a second ambient noise;
detecting a second sound based at least in part on the received second ambient noise;
determining, based at least in part on the first sound and the second sound, a score, wherein the score relates to a level of match between the first sound and the second sound; and
updating, based at least in part on the determined score and the generated audio preference, the audio settings.
