Abstract
A computer-implemented method to reduce noise in an audio signal is disclosed. The method may include obtaining an audio signal and separating the audio signal into frequency components in each of multiple frequency bands. The method may include obtaining a first magnitude threshold for a first frequency band of the plurality of frequency bands. The method may include calculating a first envelope of first frequency components in the first frequency band during a first time frame and a second envelope of the first frequency components during a second time frame after the first time frame. The method may include, in response to a difference between the first envelope and the second envelope of the first frequency band being less than the first magnitude threshold, attenuating the first frequency components. The method may include combining the frequency components, including the attenuated first frequency components, to produce an output audio signal.
