  2. Noise reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_reduction

    Noise reduction is the process of removing noise from a signal. Noise reduction techniques exist for audio and images. Noise reduction algorithms may distort the signal to some degree. Noise rejection is the ability of a circuit to isolate an undesired signal component from the desired signal component, as with common-mode rejection ratio.

  3. Noise reduction coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_reduction_coefficient

    The noise reduction coefficient (commonly abbreviated NRC) is a single number value ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 that describes the average sound absorption performance of a material. An NRC of 0.0 indicates the object does not attenuate mid-frequency sounds, but rather reflects sound energy.

  4. Active noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_noise_control

    Sound is captured from the microphone(s) furthest from the mouth (the noise signal(s)) and from the one closest to the mouth (the desired signal). The signals are processed to cancel the noise from the desired signal, producing improved voice sound quality. In some cases, noise can be controlled by employing active vibration control. This ...

  5. Background noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_noise

    Background noise is an important concept in setting noise levels. Background noises include environmental noises such as water waves, traffic noise, alarms, extraneous speech, bioacoustic noise from animals, and electrical noise from devices such as refrigerators, air conditioning, power supplies, and motors. The prevention or reduction of ...

  6. dbx (noise reduction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dbx_(noise_reduction)

    The logo represents both the company and its noise reduction system. dbx is a family of noise reduction systems developed by the company of the same name.The most common implementations are dbx Type I and dbx Type II for analog tape recording and, less commonly, vinyl LPs.

  7. Noise curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_curve

    Noise can be an annoyance that creates fatigue and negatively affects productivity, safety and the ability to communicate. Therefore, standard methodologies for quantifying noise have been developed. Noise curves reflect different standardized means of creating a single number rating for the background noise spectrum in a space.

    The new legislation, which is sponsored by Councilman Eric Bottcher (D-Manhattan) would double fines for such violations, potentially raising the penalties from a maximum fine of $3,000 to $6,000.

  9. Comfort noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfort_noise

    the speech may sound "choppy" (see noise gate) and difficult to understand; the sudden change in sound level can be jarring to the listener. To counteract these effects, comfort noise is added, usually on the receiving end in wireless or VoIP systems, to fill in the silent portions of transmissions with artificial noise.
