Abstract

A howling detector is described that is configured to receive an input signal and to determine measure of the linearity of a logarithmic representation of the energy of the input signal. In some examples, this triggers gain adjustment (e.g. of a noise control unit) and, in some further examples, the amount of the gain adjustment may be based on an estimation of the maximum stable gain of a noise control unit.
