An improved method and an apparatus for reducing an undesirable characteristic of a spectral estimate of a noise signal (203) between occurrences of voice signals (202) in an input signal (117). A spectrum of the input signal (117) is estimated to produce a spectral estimate (119) of the input signal (117) including the undesirable characteristic of the noise signal (203). The spectrum of the input signal (117) is smoothed over a first bandwidth (f3-f4) during the occurrences of the voice signals (203) and over a second bandwidth (f2-f5), substantially greater than the first bandwidth (f3-f4), between the occurrences of the voice signals (203). Alternatively, the spectral estimate (119) of the input signal (117) is filtered between the occurrences of the voice signals (203). Alternatively, the significance of magnitude and/or phase components of poles (301-305), representing the spectral estimate (119) of the input signal (117), between the occurrences of the voice signals (203) is reduced to produce a modified spectral estimate (120) of the input signal (117) between the occurrences of the voice signals (203).

Procédé et appareil de réduction de caractéristiques indésirables de l'estimation spectrale d'un signal de bruit (203) entre les occurrences de signaux vocaux (202) dans un signal d'entrée (117). Le spectre du signal d'entrée (117) est estimé en vue de produire une estimation spectrale (119) du signal d'entrée (117) comprenant les caractéristiques indésirables du bruit (203). Le spectre du signal d'entrée (117) est lissé sur une première largeur de bande (f3, f4) pendant les occurrences des signaux vocaux (203), puis sur une seconde largeur de bande (f2, f5), sensiblement plus étendue que la première, entre les occurrences des signaux vocaux (203). En alternative, l'estimation spectrale (119) du signal d'entrée (117) est filtrée entre les occurrences des signaux vocaux (203) et la signification des composantes de grandeur et de phase des pôles (301-305) représentant l'estimation spectrale (119) du signal d'entrée entre les occurrences des signaux vocaux (203) est réduite de façon à produire une estimation spectrale modifiée (120) du signal d'entrée (117) entre les occurrences des signaux vocaux (203).
