Abstract
Volume leveling of an audio signal using a volume leveling control signal. The method comprises determining a noise reliability ratio w(n) as a ratio of noise-like frames over all frames in a current time segment, determining a PGC noise confidence score Xindicating a likelihood that professionally generated content, PGC, noise is present in the time segment, and determining, for the time segment, whether the noise reliability ratio is above a predetermined threshold. When the noise reliability ratio is above the predetermined threshold, the volume leveling control signal is updated based on the PGC noise confidence score, and when the noise reliability ratio is below the predetermined threshold, the volume leveling control signal is left unchanged. Volume leveling is improved by preventing boosting of e.g. phone-recorded environmental noise in UGC, while keeping original behavior for other types of content.
