Noise Suppression

THE STANDARD NOISE SUPPRESSION ALGORITHM IS A LOW-MIPS, LOW-COMPLEXITY ALTERNATIVE TO NOISE REDUCTION

The Adaptive Digital noise suppression software reduces background noise that is present in speech signals during periods between speech periods.

Noise suppression

Description

The Adaptive Digital noise suppression software reduces background noise that is present in speech signals during periods between speech periods, but not during the actual speech periods.

The user can configure either version’s cancellation settings to be more or less aggressive. Less aggressive settings reduce noise by a moderate amount while more aggressive settings reduce noise by a greater degree.

One might wonder why a system would be configured with a less aggressive setting. There are a few reasons. One reason is that a very aggressive setting can result in loss of desired signal. Another reason is that, in the case of the low complexity version, an aggressive setting will cause an accentuated difference between the noise level during speech and the noise level when speech is not present. The transitions between speech and no speech may become more objectionable with the more aggressive setting.
