1. A method for adjusting a sound level during a conference call involving a plurality of devices via a communications network, the method comprising:
identifying audio to be output at a first device of the plurality of devices during the conference call;
identifying a learning model that is specific to the first device and that is trained using audio data of at least one conference call;
determining, that the audio to be output at the first device comprises a first sound and a second sound, wherein the first sound is received from a human speaker;
identifying a non-human source of the second sound using the learning model that is specific to the first device;
analyzing at least a portion of the second sound to generate a label;
generating for display a first user selectable element for a volume control of the human speaker, and generating for display a second user selectable element with the generated label for controlling a volume of the non-human source of the second sound;
receiving a user selection setting the first user selectable element associated with the first sound at a first sound level different from a default sound level;
causing adjustment of the volume of the non-human source of the second sound; and
causing outputting of the first sound at the first sound level while the second sound is being output at the adjusted volume.
