Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to reduce noise from harmonic noise sources. An example apparatus includes at least one memory; at least one processor to execute the computer readable instructions to at least: determine a first amplitude value of a frequency component in a frequency spectrum of an audio sample; determine a set of points in the frequency spectrum having at least one of (a) amplitude values within an amplitude threshold of the first amplitude value, (b) frequency values within a frequency threshold of the first amplitude value, or (c) phase values within a phase threshold of the first amplitude value; increment a counter when a distance between (1) a second amplitude value in the set of points and (2) the first amplitude value satisfies a distance threshold; and when the counter satisfies a counter threshold, generate a contour trace based on the set of points.
