Abstract

Noise reduction can find numerous applications in various fields of speech processing. Since acoustic environments and technical objectives vary from application to application, it is impossible (at least impossible at the present time) to find a universally feasible approach. In the design of a microphone array system and the choice of a well-suited noise reduction algorithm, there is no simple rule to follow and experiences are still crucial. In this chapter, we use a practical example to explain the primary considerations that need to be kept in mind. We think that what can be interesting to the readers is not the finding of the best noise reduction algorithm for the specific problem under investigation but instead, it is the analysis of the acoustic challenges and the validation procedure of the suggested solutions that can be more useful and that can enrich the reader’s fund of knowledge.
