1. A media playback system comprising:
a network device; and
a playback device comprising:
one or more processors;
a network interface;
one or more amplifiers configured to drive an audio transducer;
one or more microphones; and
data storage having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the playback device to perform operations comprising:
detecting sound via the one or more microphones;
capturing sound data based on the detected sound;
analyzing the sound data to detect a wake word, wherein the wake word is not detected based on the analyzed sound data;
processing the sound data to classify one or more noises in the detected sound; and
after classifying the one or more noises, transmitting a signal via the network interface that causes the network device to perform an action.
