ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a digital signal encoding apparatus in which an input digital signal has its frequency range divided into a number of frequency bands so that the bandwidths are broader at higher frequencies. A first allowable noise level based on the energy levels in the respective bands, and a second allowable noise level based on the energies of the signals temporally adjacent to the signals of a frequency band under consideration, are set. Signal components of each frequency band are quantized with a number of bits corresponding to a difference between an output synthesized from the first and second noise levels and the energy level of each frequency band. In this manner, the bit rate may be lowered while deterioration in the sound quality is minimized.
