Abstract

An apparatus and method for deciding an adaptive noise level for bandwidth extension are provided. The apparatus includes a noise level decider for deciding a high-band noise level for bandwidth extension according to tonality of an input signal, a pitch frequency analyzer for detecting a pitch frequency of the input signal and analyzing correlation between the detected pitch frequency and a frequency channel, and a noise level controller for adaptively controlling the decided high-band noise level based on the analyzed correlation of the pitch frequency and the frequency channel.
