摘要:
A noise control circuit includes a filter, a rectifier and a switch. The filter receives audio signals and obtains a noise signal portion of the received audio signals. The rectifier converts the noise signal portion to a current signal. The switch controls output of the audio signals according to an intensity of the current signals.

An apparatus and method are disclosed, which separates ambient noise from a voice signal in a Bluetooth headset with dual microphones, switches the connection path between the dual microphones and automatically controls output audio gain, based on the ambient noise. The method for outputting the voice signal includes receiving/comparing the first and second input signals from the first and second microphones, extracting the voice signal of substantially identical intensity from the first and second input signals, and transmitting the voice signal from the portable terminal communicating with the Bluetooth headset.

A system and method for enhancing two-way conversation between a user wearing at least one communication system or earphone and a second individual in proximity to the user is provided. The method includes detecting a spoken voice of the user from sounds captured at an ambient sound microphone, automatically activating a voice timer and setting a voice activity threshold for the voice timer responsive to detecting spoken voice, and adjusting a mixing gain of an audio content signal delivered to the earphone or communication system by way of the internal speaker with an ambient sound pass-through during activation of the voice timer. Separate mixing gains can be adjusted independently in accordance with spoken voice activity and reproduced audio content characteristics. Other embodiments are disclosed.
摘要:
A method (200) for improving quality of output audio (126). The method can include detecting an output acoustic signal (128) and generating a receive audio signal (134) based, at least in part, on the detected output acoustic signal. A frequency domain representation (140) of the receive audio signal can be compared to a frequency domain representation (138) of a source audio signal (124) from which the output acoustic signal is generated. At least one distortion signal (142) in the receive audio signal can be identified, and the source audio signal can be selectively equalized to reduce an amplitude of the source audio signal at a frequency that correlates to the distortion signal.

A casino gaming machine includes a speaker structured to produce a game audio output having a volume, an ambient noise level (ambient noise level) detector structured to detect an ambient noise level proximate the gaming machine, and an dynamic volume controller configured to regulate the volume of the game audio output in relation to a detected ambient noise level. The gaming machine can produce a plurality of game audio outputs, wherein the game audio output volumes can be differentially adjusted in relation to a detected ambient noise level. Differential volume adjustment can be on the basis of a parameter, such as sound output class.

A set volume control device for an on-vehicle audio system includes: a volume control switch to which a vehicle occupant can arbitrarily give an operational input; and a controller for controlling a set volume changer based on a vehicle speed detected by a vehicle speed detector and the operational input to the volume control switch so that a set volume of an audio system becomes a low vehicle speed region set volume fixed independently of vehicle speed change in a low vehicle speed region; becomes a high vehicle speed region set volume fixed independently of the vehicle speed change in a high vehicle speed region; and changes according to the vehicle speed change along a predetermined medium vehicle speed region set volume change line connecting the low vehicle speed region set volume and the high vehicle speed region set volume in a medium vehicle speed region between the low vehicle speed region and the high vehicle speed region. The controller changes a setting of the low vehicle speed region set volume according to an operational input to the volume control switch within a first volume setting range set up in advance when the volume control switch is operated in the low vehicle speed region, and changes a setting of the high vehicle speed region set volume according to an operational input to the volume control switch within a millisecond volume setting range set up in advance when the volume control switch is operated in the high vehicle speed region. A lower limit of the millisecond volume setting range is set higher than an upper limit of the first volume setting range. Thus, it is possible to accurately control the volume of the audio system and improve feeling of volume change.
摘要:
Noises in an interior of an automobile are estimated based on sensed values of sensors that sense a speed (driving speed), an accelerator opening angle, and an engine speed respectively. This estimation is carried out by searching a noise estimation database. A masking characteristic of an audio signal is deduced based on the estimated noises. An equalizing characteristic to prevent a masking of the audio signal is decided based on the masking characteristic, and then the audio signal is equalized.

In an apparatus for improving voice clarity by controlling a gain of a voice based on a sound pressure level of the voice and a sound pressure level of noise, it is determined whether a sound pressure level of a gain-controlled voice exceeds a maximum allowable level. If the sound pressure level exceeding the maximum allowable level is caused by audio sound, a sound pressure level of the audio sound is reduced. The sound pressure level of the audio sound is minimally reduced so that the sound pressure level of the voice becomes equal to or lower than the maximum allowable level.

When power is turned on, a speaker volume control section obtains the volume of surrounding sound from a microphone and then determines the output volume of a speaker from the volume of surrounding sound. The speaker volume control section then displays the value of the output volume of the speaker thus determined on an LCD. After that, the speaker volume control section monitors whether or not an operation of changing the speaker volume is performed and, when such an operation is not performed for a predetermined period of time, presents the determined speaker volume to a sound controller. When an operation of changing the speaker volume is performed, the speaker volume control section presents a volume specified by the user to the sound controller.
摘要:
Systems and methods for ambient noise compensation are disclosed. One example of a system includes a variable amplifier, a source sound processor, an area sound processor, and an adjustment circuit. The variable amplifier adjusts an audio input signal to generate an audio output signal with an appropriate level so that the audio output signal is audible over noise in a listening area. The source sound processor and the area sound processor may split the audio output signal and a monitoring signal into frequency bands, and may compare these signals band-by band to find differences that represent time-varying noise in the monitoring signal. These differences may be modified to account for the acoustic response of the listening area and for constant-level background noise in the listening area. The adjustment circuit controls the variable amplifier in response to these differences.
