Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for detection and reduction of wind noise in audio devices are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method includes acquiring and transforming the audio signals. Correlations from the transformed audio signals are computed. A cross correlation index is compared to a predetermined value to determine if a wind noise spectral content is present. In another embodiment, an apparatus includes an audio processing unit to receive non-decomposed audio signals, and an audio decomposition unit to receive the non-decomposed audio signals and to generate decomposed audio signals. A wind noise spectrum estimation unit receives non-decomposed audio signals and decomposed audio signals and identifies wind noise spectral components in at least one of the non-decomposed and decomposed audio signals. A wind noise spectrum reduction unit receives the wind noise spectral components and removes the wind noise spectral components from at least one of the non-decomposed and the decomposed audio signals.
