Abstract
In altering sound content of an audiovisual product, for example, a video game, a computer program, motion picture, television program, commercial or other like products, a server system identifies the current sound content of an audiovisual product residing in a user system, the server system determines whether the current sound content is to be altered, and the server system provides an altered sound content to the user system, if it is determined that the current sound content is to be altered. The altered sound content includes, for example a sound content that is an alternate sound content, a substitute sound content, or an updated sound content.
