How do you smooth peaks?

I want my algorithm to count 6 instead of 12 peaks in this figure. I can't use a threshold or minpeakdistance/height because my data varies in amplitude/distance (speech), so I'd like to smoothen these peaks to look like one curve (6 curves in total). Can I do that and how?

This is a time-amplitude signal.

Hi Chelsea,

Perhaps using findpeaks and specifying 'MinPeakProminence' will do the trick?
