Abstract
There is provided an echo suppression device that allows adding a natural comfort noise even in an environment in which a change in ambient noise is large. An echo is removed from an input signal to generate an echo-removed signal, a noise signal included in the echo-removed signal is estimated to generate an estimated noise signal, and a noise signal included in the echo-removed signal is suppressed based on the estimated noise signal to generate a suppressed signal. A comfort noise is generated based on the estimated noise signal, and the comfort noise is superimposed on the suppressed signal.
