  • Patent number: 5323467
    Abstract: Sound is processed for therein enhancing wanted sound with respect to unwanted sound. The sound is distributed over a plurality of parallel pass bands. In each channel, possibly with excepting the lowest frequency channels, the envelope of the respective signals in that frequency band is detected. Next, the envelope, or in the lowest frequency channels, the signal itself is preferentially filtered for enhancing signals at the fundamental frequency of the wanted sound. Subsequently, as far as applicable, the signal filtered is modulated with the envelope found for the channel in question and all channel outputs are summed.
