Abstract
The invention provides a decoder being configured for processing an encoded audio bitstream, wherein the decoder includes: a bitstream decoder configured to derive a decoded audio signal from the bitstream, wherein the decoded audio signal includes at least one decoded frame; a noise estimation device configured to produce a noise estimation signal containing an estimation of the level and/or the spectral shape of a noise in the decoded audio signal; a comfort noise generating device configured to derive a comfort noise signal from the noise estimation signal; and a combiner configured to combine the decoded frame of the decoded audio signal and the comfort noise signal in order to obtain an audio output signal.
