Abstract
The paper examines how participants in interaction modify their current sound- scape. It is shown that ambient sound need not in itself pose an impediment to interaction but that participants, by adjusting it, signal that it now retracts from the degree of involvement that is appropriate for unfolding talk. It is proposed that muting or muffling auditory objects, i.e. devices that produce sound when in use, serves as a participant resource for displaying their interpretation that unfolding talk makes relevant a higher degree of involvement than did previous talk. The data are in British English and Danish.
