Abstract
An audio similarity evaluator obtains envelope signals for a plurality of frequency ranges on the basis of an input audio signal. The audio similarity evaluator is configured to obtain a modulation information associated with the envelope signals for a plurality of modulation frequency ranges, wherein the modulation information describes the modulation of the envelope signals. The audio similarity evaluator is configured to compare the obtained modulation information with a reference modulation information associated with a reference audio signal, in order to obtain an information about a similarity between the input audio signal and the reference audio signal. An audio encoder uses such an audio similarity evaluator. Another audio similarity evaluator uses a neural net trained using the audio similarity evaluator.
