Abstract
The invention relates to a method of processing a noisy sound signal and to a device for implementing said method. The inventive method includes the following steps which are performed for each frame of a noisy sound signal, consisting in: applying a frequency-domain transform; estimating a power spectral density (PSD) of the noise for the frame; calculating a first noise reduction filter from the estimated PSD of the noise and from an estimation of the PSD of a wanted signal corresponding to the frame; filtering the frame with the aid of the calculated noise reduction filter, in order to obtain a first noise-corrected estimation for the frame; and obtaining a frame of a second signal from the first noise-corrected estimation of the aforementioned frame, comprising harmonics which are essentially at the same positions as the wanted signal corresponding to the frame of the noisy sound signal.
