Abstract

An electronic device includes one or more microphones that generate audio signals and a wind noise detection subsystem. The electronic device may also include a wind noise reduction subsystem. The wind noise detection subsystem applies multiple wind noise detection techniques to the set of audio signals to generate corresponding indications of whether wind noise is present. The wind noise detection subsystem determines whether wind noise is present based on the indications generated by each detection technique and generates an overall indication of whether wind noise is present. The wind noise reduction subsystem applies one or more wind noise reduction techniques to the audio signal if wind noise is detected. The wind noise detection and reduction techniques may work in multiple domains (e.g., the time, spatial, and frequency domains).
