Voice agents still trip on sounds like that. A short pause before treating noise as a turn, plus background noise filtering, fixes most of the false starts.

I'm not sure if this needs a fix? It was an unusually good UX. I’m only unsure whether this was a deterministic feature (via a system prompt) or non-deterministic? 🤖

Hard to tell from outside. If it does the same thing every time you make that sound, it's probably a rule in the voice pipeline rather than the model deciding.
