Abstract

A continuous stream of noise is created from a plurality of input signals. A smoothing spectrum estimate is continuously calculated from the continuous stream of noise. Noise is responsively removed from a selected one of the plurality of input signals using the smoothing spectrum estimate. The removal of the noise from the selected input signal is performed substantially synchronously and in time alignment with the creating of the continuous stream of noise and the calculating of the smoothing spectrum estimate.
