Enhancement of speech corrupted by acoustic noise

Abstract: This paper describes a method for enhancing speech corrupted by broadband noise. The method is based on the spectral noise subtraction method. The original method entails subtracting an estimate of the noise power spectrum from the speech power spectrum, setting negative differences to zero, recombining the new power spectrum with the original phase, and then reconstructing the time waveform. While this method reduces the broadband noise, it also usually introduces an annoying "musical noise". We have devised a method that eliminates this "musical noise" while further reducing the background noise. The method consists in subtracting an overestimate of the noise power spectrum, and preventing the resultant spectral components from going below a preset minimum level (spectral floor). The method can automatically adapt to a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios, as long as a reasonable estimate of the noise spectrum can be obtained. Extensive listening tests were performed to determine the quality and intelligibility of speech enhanced by our method. Listeners unanimously preferred the quality of the processed speech. Also, for an input signal-to-noise ratio of 5 dB, there was no loss of intelligibility associated with the enhancement technique.

Noise in solid-state microstructures: A new perspective on individual defects, interface states and low-frequency (1/ƒ) noise

Abstract: In very small electronic devices the alternate capture and emission of carriers at an individual defect site generates discrete switching in the device resistance—referred to as a random telegraph signal (RTS) The study of RTSs has provided a powerful means of investigating the capture and emission kinetics of single defects, has demonstrated the defect origins of low-frequency (1/ƒ) noise in these devices, and has provided new insight into the nature of defects at the Si/SiO2 interface
