Abstract

The invention concerns a method (500) and system (100) for suppressing receiver audio regeneration. The method (500) includes the steps of receiving a communication signal (502), at a Radio Frequency (RF) unit (102), demodulating the communication signal to an audio signal (504), monitoring a volume level of the audio signal (506), and shifting the pitch of the audio signal when the volume level reaches a predetermined threshold (508), and playing the pitch-shifted audio signal out of a speaker to produce a pitch-shifted acoustic signal (510). The method can shift the pitch of the audio signal to produce a pitch-shifted acoustic signal with signal properties suppressing regeneration of the acoustic signal onto the audio signal at the RF unit. The amount of pitch-shifting can be a function of the volume level.
