TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the well-known spectral subtraction is used for noise cancellation in a speech-passing angle grinder noise-canceling headset, which is adapted very quickly to the nonstationary noise environment while inflecting minimum musical noise and speech distortion on the processed signal.

Abstract: This paper deals with configuration of an algorithm to be used in a speech-passing angle grinder noise-canceling headset. Angle grinder noise is annoying and interrupts ordinary oral communication. Meaning that, low SNR noisy condition is ahead. Since variation in angle grinder working condition changes noise statistics, the noise will be nonstationary with possible jumps in its power. Studies are conducted for picking an appropriate algorithm. A modified version of the well-known spectral subtraction shows superior performance against alternate methods. Noise estimation is calculated through a multi-band fast adapting scheme. The algorithm is adapted very quickly to the non-stationary noise environment while inflecting minimum musical noise and speech distortion on the processed signal. Objective and subjective measures illustrating the performance of the proposed method are introduced.

Speech enhancement using a minimum mean square error short-time spectral amplitude estimator
TL;DR: This paper derives a minimum mean-square error STSA estimator, based on modeling speech and noise spectral components as statistically independent Gaussian random variables, which results in a significant reduction of the noise, and provides enhanced speech with colorless residual noise.
