Audio Noise Classification using Bark scale features and K-NN Technique

Abstract

This paper presents the audio noise classification using Bark scale features and K-NN technique. This paper uses audio noise signal from NOISEX-92 (12 types). We determine the transfer functions from linear predictive coding (LPC) coefficient of noise signal on Bark scale and use K-NN technique to classify them. The results will be used for optimization of speech recognition model in the presence of noise. The highest average accuracy for audio noise classification is obtained when K=3 and median over 5 consecutive frames.
