a microphone;

a processor; and

a memory operatively connected to the speaker, the microphone, and the processor and configured to store instructions,

wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:

obtain a first audio signal during a first specified time by using the microphone,

identify reference noise intensity based on the first audio signal,

obtain a second audio signal exceeding the reference noise intensity by using the microphone,

turn off the microphone based on a fact that a third audio signal having the reference noise intensity or less is obtained during a second specified time or longer, and

while the microphone is turned off, modulate and output the second audio signal through the speaker.
