Abstract

According to certain embodiments, an electronic device comprises a microphone configured to acquire a signal including a voice signal and noise signal; a speaker; a memory; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to: receive the signal from the microphone, wherein the signal corresponds to a plurality of predetermined frequency bands; identify portions of the signal corresponding to a first band and a second band of the plurality of frequency bands; calculate a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values for each predetermined frequency band, based on the signal; obtain a first parameter for correcting the portion of the signal corresponding to the first band and a second parameter for correcting the portion of the signal corresponding to the second band, based on the calculated SNR values for the first band and the second band; and apply the first parameter and the second parameter to each of the predetermined frequency bands.
