Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium that receive a first audio signal generated by a first microphone of a plurality of microphones having a sound inlet, detect an acoustic disturbance in the received first audio signal, the detected acoustic disturbance in the received first audio signal resulting from a tactile interaction proximate the sound inlet of the first microphone, determine whether the detected acoustic disturbance correlates to a pre-defined acoustic signature, and generate, based upon determining that the detected acoustic disturbance correlates to the pre-defined acoustic signature, a control signal corresponding to the pre-defined acoustic signature, the generated control signal controlling one or more of a plurality of speakers of an in-vehicle communication system.
