Master Thesis - Wind Noise Metric for Speech Communication

Job Title Master Thesis - Wind Noise Metric for Speech Communication Job Description Category Signal Processing and Acoustics Scope 2 students completing 30/60 credits (20/40 weeks) each Background Wind noise can severely degrade speech captured by microphones, making conversations difficult to understand and unpleasant to listen to. Products designed for two-way communication often use digital signal processing (DSP) to reduce wind noise. However, evaluating how well these solutions work is challenging: reducing wind can also damage speech, make voices sound unnatural, or introduce artifacts such as pumping or choppiness. This thesis will investigate how to assess wind-noise reduction in speech recordings.…
