ABSTRACT:
The subject invention is directed to a method and system for removing music or other unwanted noise from a conference call particularly when the music or other unwanted noise is not directly under the control of the telecommunication equipment the user is attached to and using. The method and system detects the unwanted sound, deactivates the sound source or disconnects from the line carrying the sound, monitors the disconnected line for voice energy, and reconnects the line when voice energy is detected. This capability provides the telecommunications equipment user with control over unwanted music sources being provided by equipment located either in the private or public networks.
