1. A method of controlling an audio system of an aircraft, comprising: identifying a weapon initiation situation response model that maps expected cabin noise levels attributable to a weapon initiation to a set of values of an elapsed time after the weapon initiation; determining an expected cabin noise for a current value of the elapsed time after the weapon initiation based on the weapon initiation response model; selecting a volume level adjustment of the audio system to compensate for the determined expected cabin noise in the aircraft; and applying the selected volume level adjustment to the audio system, wherein a volume level of the audio system after applying the volume level adjustment is greater than zero volume.
