Innovative Method for Reducing Background Noise in Acoustics

Acoustic measurements are often subject to unwanted background noise, which compromise the validity of noise measurements. By using a statistical prediction model the invention automatically identifies the disturbed sections and then systematically suppresses these areas in the level detection. In contrast to the frequently used method of percentile ranks the inventive method is not fixed to fixed proportions of background noise.
