11. A system, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
determine audio data representing a message that is to be provided to a first user, wherein the first user is associated with at least a first device and a second device;
determine first data corresponding to an audio characteristic of a first physical environment in which the first device is located;
determine second data corresponding to the audio characteristic of a second physical environment in which the second device is located, wherein the second physical environment is different than the first physical environment and the second data is different than the first data;
determine, based at least in part on the first data and the second data, that the second physical environment is better suited for outputting audio corresponding to the message than the first physical environment; and
send, based at least in part on the second physical environment being better suited for outputting the audio than the first physical environment, the audio data to the second device via a network to cause the second device to output the audio.
