Abstract

A noise suppression device calculates a subband SN ratio calculation based on a noise likeness signal, an input signal spectrum and a subband-based estimated noise spectrum. The device calculates a subband-based input signal average spectrum, calculates a subband-based mixture ratio of the subband-based estimated noise spectrum to the subband-based input signal average spectrum on the basis of the noise likeness signal, and calculates the subband-based SN ratio on the basis of the subband-based estimated noise spectrum, the subband-based input signal average spectrum and the mixture ratio.
