1. A portable computer device comprising:

  • a microphone for receiving and transducing sound waves, acoustic measuring circuitry coupled to microphone for measuring acoustic responses of the sound waves received and transduced by the microphone;

    a processor coupled to acoustic measuring circuitry;

    a memory coupled to the processor; and

    a software program stored on the memory, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to;

    cause instructions to be communicated to a user, the instructions directing the user to move the microphone to different locations in a listening space;

    cause the microphone to receive sound waves radiated by a loudspeaker as the microphone is moved to different locations in the listening space;

    cause the acoustic measuring circuitry to measure a plurality of acoustic responses as the microphone is moved to different locations in the listening space; and

    while the acoustic responses are being measured, determine if the ambient noise exceeds a predetermined threshold; and

    if the ambient noise exceeds the predetermined threshold, generate a message.
