ABSTRACT:
There are provided a method and an apparatus for reducing random, continuous, non-stationary noise in audio signals, the noisy audio signal being filtered by means of a predetermined filter function. The filter function is determined dynamically having regard to the current properties of the noisy audio signal and/or its constituent parts, and the filter function is also limited dynamically having regard to the current properties of the noise component contained in the noisy audio signal.
