Abstract

An audio processing system processing an input sound to an output sound includes: an input transducer for converting input sound to an electric input signal and defining an input side; an output transducer for converting a processed electric output signal to an output sound and defining an output side; a forward path defined between the input transducer and the output transducer; a signal processing unit for processing an SPU-input signal originating from the electric input signal and to provide a processed SPU-output signal, and an electric feedback loop from the output side to the input side, having a feedback path estimation unit for estimating an acoustic feedback transfer function from the output transducer to the input transducer, and a enhancement unit for estimating noise-like signal components in the electric signal of the forward path and providing a noise signal estimate output.
