A method is provided to automatically identify noise events in a channel of a communication system comprising the steps of: receiving an input signal from the channel; determining the mean energy of the input signal; determining the recent energy of the input signal; identifying a beginning of the noise event when the recent energy is greater than the product of the mean energy and a predefined first threshold; identifying an end of a noise event when the recent energy is less that the product of the mean energy and a predefined second threshold; and providing for output the beginning of the noise event and the end of the noise event. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
