Abstract

A noise reduction device including: an input signal spectrum obtaining unit that obtains an input signal spectrum by a subband unit based on a current frame of an input signal; an averaged spectrum obtaining unit that obtains an averaged spectrum of the input signal by averaging the input signal spectrum; an estimated noise spectrum obtaining unit that obtains an estimated noise spectrum estimated based on a past frame of the input signal by the subband unit; and an SN ratio obtaining unit that obtains an SN ratio by the subband unit, based on the averaged spectrum of the input signal obtained by the averaged spectrum obtaining unit, the estimated noise spectrum obtained by the estimated noise spectrum obtaining unit, and a function of the averaged spectrum of the input signal obtained by the averaged spectrum obtaining unit and the estimated noise spectrum obtained by the estimated noise spectrum obtaining unit.
