Abstract
This research presents a statistical analysis on the effectiveness of four audio denoising techniques: Spectral Gating, Butterworth Filtering, Gaussian Filtering, and Wavelet Denoising. We utilize the signal-to-noise ratio of speech signals (SNR), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Short-Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI) as statistical metrics to compare the effectiveness of the denoising techniques. After statistical comparison we establish that the Spectral Gating denoising technique is superior to the other techniques in denoising and producing an intelligible audio signal for the audio dataset used.
