Abstract

A digital audio coding apparatus includes a part which converts a frame of digital audio data into a frequency domain; a part which divides the digital audio data into a plurality of bands; a part which calculates an allowed distortion level by using an absolute hearing threshold for each divided band and assigns coding bits; a change part which changes the absolute hearing threshold adaptively on the basis of intensity distribution of the digital audio data in the frequency domain.
