Abstract
A method for perceptual enhancement of a received remote talker's voice, in the presence of local ambient noise, in an electronic voice communication system is provided. The method includes generating a pair of binaural voice signals from the remote talker's voice and manipulating the characteristics of the resulting pair of binaural signals. The two ears of the local listener are stimulated binaurally with the pair of binaural voice signals. The stimulating is performed adaptively as the ambient noise in the local listener's environment changes, thereby creating a perception of remote talker reacting actively to the local ambient noise, in a psycho-acoustically pleasing manner to the local listener.
