Abstract
Speech signals convey abundant speaker-related metadata, yet current privacy research predominantly focuses on identity-centric voiceprint protection, leaving sensitive Speaker Attribute Privacy (SAP) largely underexplored. This paper introduces AudioPrivacy, a large-scale Chinese dataset designed to systematically evaluate SAP leakage in realistic, everyday scenarios. Comprising 227.3 hours of audio from 1,000 speakers, it uniquely encompasses four parallel modalities: speech, singing, paralinguistic expressions, and non-vocal acoustic signals (e.g., footsteps). Annotated with 11 diverse attributes, including fine-grained physiological traits often overlooked in traditional corpora, AudioPrivacy enables a granular analysis of acoustic privacy risks. Our evaluations reveal significant leakage across multiple attributes, even when inferred from non-vocal signals. Furthermore, we demonstrate that state-of-the-art Multimodal Large Language Models (MM LLMs) can precisely profile speakers and exacerbate these risks, underscores the urgent need to rethink privacy-preserving mechanisms in the era of powerful audio foundation models.
