Abstract
A method and apparatus to enhance a low frequency component of an audio signal, by computing a fundamental frequency of an input audio signal using the input audio signal and a delayed audio signal obtained by delaying the input audio signal by a predetermined amount of time, generating harmonic signals from the input audio signal based on the fundamental frequency, and combining the harmonic signals and the input audio signal. The low frequency component of the audio signal can be enhanced using human characteristics of perception without physically boosting the energy of the low frequency component.
