I'm not sure how to answer your question. Microphones aren't particularly discriminating, meaning they'll pick up pretty much what sounds are present when the microphone is on. The built in microphone on your iPhone has a voice isolating option, which tries to block out external sounds when on a phone call. I suppose there are 3rd party microphones, which offer voice isolation, but you'd have to check with the manufacturer of the 3rd party microphone.
