The present work discusses a new method to enhance speech signals degraded by white additive noise in high-noise environments (segmented SNR varying from 10 to 3 dB). The approach presented here is based upon a weighted sum involving a speech signal obtained from spectral subtraction and a synthetized speech signal, which is produced according to the concepts of the digital model of speech production (LPC analysis and synthesis). A spectral subtraction-based pre-processor was specifically implemented for LP coeficients and pitch period estimation, which significantly improves the overall quality of the synthetized speech signal. The weighted combination of these two speech signals allows the reconstruction of spectral regions lost due to the effects of spectral subtraction, as well as the elimination of musical noise. Tests conducted with phonetic-ballanced sentences from several speakers show that the proposed method offers better results than spectral subtraction, producing a more natural and clear enhanced speech signal, without the common artifact of musical noise.
