Has anyone else noticed that when a man and a woman are sharing a webcam on a video call, that the noise-filtering algorithms often filter out the woman's voice and pick the man's as the frequencies to highlight because... METAPHOR.

Physics is physics regardless.
The physics says the microphone converts sound to electricity. It doesn't know nor care how many people are speaking at once or what their ranges are, as long as they're within the mic's response. Cut your bullshit. The algorithms suck. Physics has nothing to do with it.

Yep, but the algorithms try to reduce noise. If one person's voice has more overlap with the noise than the other, it'll adversely affect their speech. The reason for such algorithms...

...is because our ears are really good at using spatial release from masking. We localise signals and noise and hone on the areas where the signals come from. We can't do this when listening to a mono feed from an omnidirectional microphone. Because physics & psychoacoustics.
