Could you build this?
No Building system-wide macOS audio interception and real-time DSP parametric filtering requires native CoreAudio HAL drivers and specialized digital signal processing knowledge.
What it would actually take: The app requires a macOS audio server plugin (CoreAudio HAL driver) or AudioUnit tapping to intercept system-wide audio without adding perceptible latency. The core audio engine requires DSP expertise to perform acoustic room mode calculation/FFT frequency response analysis via the microphone and apply a targeted notch/bell filter with minimum phase distortion. This cannot be built without deep low-level C/C++ or Swift systems programming and acoustic engineering expertise.
