Abstract

There is provided a quantizing error reducer for an audio signal, which is constructed to feed a quantizing error back to the input side of a quantizer through a noise filter, wherein the coefficient of the noise filter is set on the basis of information relating to the equiloudness curve, thereby making it possible to reduce the noise in the hearing sense.
