Audio Noise Reduction from Audio Signals and Speech Signals Using Wavelet Transform Matlab Project with Source Code

ABSTRACT

           Speech signal analysis is one of the important areas of research in multimedia applications. Discrete Wavelet technique is effectively reduces the unwanted higher or lower order frequency components in a speech signal. Wavelet-based algorithm for audio de-noising is worked out. We focused on audio signals corrupted with white Gaussian noise which is especially hard to remove because it is located in all frequencies. We use Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT) to transform noisy audio signal in wavelet domain. It is assumed that high amplitude DWT coefficients represent signal, and low amplitude coefficients represent noise. Using thresholding of coefficients and transforming them back to time domain it is possible to get audio signal with less noise. Our work has been modified by changing universal thresholding of coefficients which results with better audio signal. In this various parameters such as SNR, Elapsed Time, and Threshold value is analyzed on various types of wavelet techniques alike Coiflet, Daubechies, Symlet etc. In all these, best Daubechies as compared to SNR is more for Denoising and Elapsed Time is less than others for Soft thresholding. In using hard thresholding Symlet wavelet also works better than coiflet and Daubechies is best for all. Efficiency is 98.3 for de-noising audio signals which also gives us better results than various filters.

         Audio noise reduction system is the system that is used to remove the noise from the audio signals. Audio noise reduction systems can be divided into two basic approaches. The first approach is the complementary type which involves compressing the audio signal in some well-defined manner before it is recorded (primarily on tape). The second approach is the single-ended or non-complementary type which utilizes techniques to reduce the noise level already present in the source material—in essence a playback only noise reduction system. This approach is used by the LM1894 integrated circuit, designed specifically for the reduction of audible noise in virtually any audio source. Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal.
