PolyLens

Hello,

PolyLens has the setting "Sidetone - Adjust the volume of your voice you hear when speaking"

Does this affect the Noise Cancelling / Acoustic Fence at all? Or does it literally just make my voice others hear louder / less loud?

Are the sidetones Low/Medium/High or is my voice Low/Medium/High?

Hi @ghdnfmnjdrtzumk, Welcome to Poly HP Support Community.  
 
I understand you want to know about the side tone setting. The "sidetone" setting in PolyLens is specifically designed to adjust the volume of your own voice that you hear through your headset while speaking. It doesn't directly affect the noise Cancelling or acoustic fence features. These features are focused on isolating and managing external noise, so they remain separate from the sidetone adjustment.

Regarding your second question, the Sidetone setting adjusts how loudly you hear your own voice, not how loudly others hear it. If you set it to Low, Medium, or High, you're adjusting the internal volume of your voice as you speak, not the actual volume of your voice in the external environment. So:

  • Low sidetone means you hear your voice more quietly.
  • Medium Sidetone provides a balanced level of hearing your own voice.
  • High Sidetone makes your voice sound louder to yourself.

It doesn’t alter how others perceive your voice or your voice’s volume in the environment.

 

I hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance. If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution more easily by giving Kudos/Thumbs Up and marking my post as an Accepted Solution.
