1. A system for reducing unwanted noise in an electronic audio signal, the system comprising:
a computing device comprising a first microphone;
a memory;
a processor; and
a head-mountable device in electronic communication with the computing device, the head-mountable device positioned external to and separate from the computing device, and comprising a second microphone;
wherein the processor is configured to:
detect a target noise within a first audio signal from the second microphone of the head-mountable device;
detect the target noise within a second audio signal from the first microphone of the computing device; and
modify at least one of the first audio signal or the second audio signal to reduce a representation of the target noise.
