ABSTRACT:
A noise signal prediction system includes a signal detector for receiving a mixed signal having a voice signal and a background noise signal and for detecting the presence and absence of the voice signal contained in the mixed signal. A noise level detector is provided for detecting an actual noise level at each sampling cycle during the absence of the voice signal. A storing circuit stores the noise levels for a predetermined number of past sampling cycles. A predicting circuit predicts a noise level of a next sampling cycle based on the stored noise levels in the storing circuit. The storing circuit receiving and stores the actual noise levels during the absence of the voice signal, but stores the predicted noise levels during the presence of the voice signal.
