Abstract

An apparatus may include a noise estimation unit configured to determine a noise spectrum associated with a noise signal, and generate a filter based on the determined noise spectrum. The apparatus may also include a noise synthesis unit configured to generate a colored noise using the filter generated by the noise estimation unit. The apparatus may be incorporated in an echo canceller.
