Abstract: In a method of extracting voice components free of noise components from voice signals input through a single microphone, a signal-decomposing unit extracts independent signal components from the voice signals input through a single microphone by using a plurality of filters that permit the passage of signal components of different frequency bands. A signal-synthesizing unit synthesizes the signal components according to a first rule to form a first synthesized signal, and synthesizes the signal components according to a second rule to form a second synthesized signal. The first and second rules are so determined that a difference becomes a maximum between the probability density function of the first synthesized signal and the probability density function of the second synthesized signal. An output selection unit selectively produces a synthesized signal having a large difference from the Gaussian distribution between the synthesized signals.
