Abstract

A sound processing apparatus includes a first microphone that acquires an environmental sound, a second microphone that acquires noise from a noise source, a first conversion unit that performs Fourier transform on a sound signal from the first microphone to generate first sound data, a second conversion unit that performs Fourier transform on a sound signal from the second microphone to generate second sound data, a first reduction unit that reduces noise from the noise source in the first sound data using noise data, a detection unit detects, based on the second sound data, that short-term noise from the noise source is included in the first sound data, a second reduction unit that controls a magnitude of sound data from the first reduction unit and reduces the short-term noise, and a third conversion unit that performs inverse Fourier transform on sound data from the second reduction unit.
