Postprocessing method for suppressing musical noise generated by spectral subtraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this correspondence, we investigate whether musical noise, which often exists in speech enhanced using spectral subtraction, can be suppressed. Via exploiting some specific characteristics of human speech, we propose a method that can effectively suppress musical noise without noticeable effect on speech intelligibility. Performance assessments confirm that our method is effective.

Residual noise suppression using psychoacoustic criteria
Speech enhancement techniques using spectral subtraction have the drawback of generating residual noise with a musical character, so-called musical noise. We developed a new post-processing method for suppressing this musical residual noise. In this method, the auditory masking threshold is calculated twice, once before the spectral subtraction and once again afterwards. This ensures that all a...
متن کاملMusical-Noise Analysis in Methods of Integrating Microphone Array and Spectral Subtraction Based on Higher-Order Statistics
We conduct an objective analysis on musical noise generated by two methods of integrating microphone array signal processing and spectral subtraction. To obtain better noise reduction, methods of integrating microphone array signal processing and nonlinear signal processing have been researched. However, nonlinear signal processing often generates musical noise. Since such musical noise causes ...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Musical Noise in Wiener Filter via Higher-Order Statistics
In this paper, we provide a new theoretical analysis of the amount of musical noise generated via Wiener filter based on higher-order statistics. Spectral subtraction and Wiener filter are the most commonly used noise reduction methods, and in our previous study a musical noise assessment theory limited to the spectral subtraction was proposed. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new theoret...
متن کاملAdaptive filtering for attenuating musical noise caused by spectral subtraction
A method of alleviating processing distortion caused by spectral subtraction is presented. It is well known that the spectral subtraction introduces annoying artifacts, which are referred to as undesirable musical noise, in the enhanced speech. The enhancement quality of the spectral subtraction quite depends on the performance of reducing the musical noise. Our approach exploits an adaptive fi...
متن کاملEnhanced spectral subtraction method for noise reduction with minimal speech distortion
In this paper, we propose a method for enhancing speech corrupted by broadband noise. The method is based on the spectral subtraction technique. Besides reducing the noise conventional spectral subtraction introduces an annoying residual musical noise. To eliminate the musical noise we propose to introduce reduced varying scaling factor of spectral subtraction, with a following application of w...
