1. A method comprising:
- determine a change of position of an apparatus, wherein the change in position is determined with at least one non-audio sensor of the apparatus, wherein the at least one non-audio sensor is connected to a housing of the apparatus, and wherein the change in position is determined while the apparatus is in a mode of operation;
processing at least one of at least two microphone audio signals dependent on the change in position of the apparatus during the mode of operation;
wherein the at least two microphone audio signals are provided with at least two microphones of the apparatus configured to form an output microphone audio for the mode of operation, wherein the at least two microphones are positioned inside the apparatus, wherein processing the at least one of the at least two microphone audio signals comprises adjusting an audio profile for the output microphone audio dependent on the change of position, wherein the audio profile comprises a directionality adjustment for the output microphone audio for capturing acoustic waves and eliminating at least in part ambient noise around the apparatus when the directionality adjustment comprises a direction from which the acoustic waves are captured, wherein processing the at least one of the at least two microphone audio signals comprises adjusting the directionality to capture the acoustic waves in the direction or to have no directionality for the output microphone audio dependent on the change in position of the apparatus, and wherein the change in position of the apparatus comprises a relative change of position with respect to an object or an absolute change of position during the mode of operation, and wherein the apparatus is a portable electronic device.
