1. A method comprising: a device recording a noise sample in an environment; making a comparison of the noise sample and at least one predetermined threshold; based on the comparison, determining a likelihood of successful recognition in the environment by a voice recognition application comprising determining whether the likelihood of successful recognition is high, medium, or low; and triggering a notification indicating the likelihood, comprising: after determining that the likelihood of successful recognition is high, triggering a notification that indicates that the likelihood of successful recognition is high, after determining that the likelihood of successful recognition is medium, triggering a notification that indicates that the likelihood of successful recognition is medium, and after determining that the likelihood of successful recognition is low, triggering a notification that indicates that the likelihood of successful recognition is low.
