Google has silently rolled out its adaptive sound feature to some of its Pixel 6 devices.The feature that was once thought exclusive to the Pixel 5, directed towards compensating for its disappointing under-screen speaker performance, is now coming to the Pixel 6 series.

The feature was discovered by @MishaalRahman who noticed it while scrolling through the settings menu of his Pixel 6. This technology works by utilizing the device microphone to access the surrounding audio and noise levels, adjusting the equalizer, resulting in a better, clearer sound.

With the Pixel 5, the feature was observed to work nicely when the speaker audio output was kept anywhere between 40% to 80% of its maximum capacity. Beyond that, the difference was hard to notice.

The adaptive sound feature was also introduced in the Pixel 4a 5G which came out in September of last year and the Google Pixel Buds, but the buds only offer some adjustments in noise cancellation and tweak the volume levels according to the surrounding noise.

It is yet too early to say how the feature will perform on the Pixel 6 series devices. As more devices receive the update, we would have a clearer picture of this quirky feature.
