Enhancing Noise Reduction with Bionic Wavelet and Adaptive Filtering

Speech signals often contain different forms of background and environmental noise. For the development of an efficient speech recognition system, it is essential to preprocess noisy speech signals to reduce the impact of these disturbances. Notably, prior research has paid limited attention to pink and babble noises. This gap in knowledge inspired us to develop and implement hybrid algorithms tailored to handle these specific noise types. We introduce a hybrid method that combines the Bionic Wavelet transform with Adaptive Filtering to enhance signal strength. The performance of this method is assessed using various metrics, including Mean Squared Error, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, and Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio. Notably, our findings indicate that SNR and PSNR metrics are especially effective in enhancing the handling of pink and babble noises.
