Abstract: A method for providing elected sounds to a user—isolated from sounds of the environment—of a mobile device to increase his awareness regarding entities or events in his vicinity. The user wears sound isolating headphones connected to his mobile device. A mobile application is installed on the mobile device, and is automatically activated when the headphones are connected to his mobile device. The application is adapted to automatically activate the device's microphone when the isolating headphones are plugged into the device and periodically compare in real-time, sounds received from the environment, to a predefined collection of reference sounds. Sounds of the environment, which match one or more reference sounds from the collection are selectively filtered out and as long as the sounds received from the environment match the one or more reference sounds from the collection, the filtered sounds are continuously passed to the isolating headphones.
