An audio signal processing method including the following steps: acquiring a bone conduction audio signal collected by a bone conduction vibration pickup device; acquiring a low frequency transfer function which matches the bone conduction audio signal and a high frequency transfer function corresponding to the low frequency transfer function, wherein the low frequency transfer function and the high frequency transfer function are corresponding transfer functions between the bone conduction audio signal and an air conduction audio signal which correspond to the same voice; and performing frequency domain extension on the bone conduction audio signal on the basis of the low frequency transfer function and the high frequency transfer function, and taking the extended initial audio as output audio. The effect of improving the integrity pf a voice signal collected by a terminal device is achieved.

A method for improving the effective signal-to-noise ratio (“SNR”) of an analog to digital converter (“ADC”) for active loudspeakers uses the two available channels of a stereo ADC to separately process the low- and high-frequency components of an audio signal. Because the power spectral density of music approximates a pink noise spectrum, the high-frequency component of the signal has peak levels low enough to avoid exceeding the maximum ADC input level. The audio signal is analog high-pass filtered and the resulting high-frequency signal component is sent directly to a first ADC channel without attenuation. The remaining low-frequency component is attenuated and sent to a second ADC channel. The digital signals are processed, converted back to analog, amplified, and reproduced by loudspeaker drivers. Noise and distortion at low frequencies is less audible than higher frequencies, so the improved SNR at higher frequencies yields a significant practical improvement in audio fidelity.

An image capture device with dynamic wind noise compression tuning techniques is described. A technique includes detecting of the presence of wind noise by measuring coherence between at least two microphones. For a compressor, adjusting a default compression threshold and default compression parameters based on the coherence measurements. For each microphone, applying by the compressor the adjusted compression parameters when an audio signal is above the adjusted compression threshold and applying the default compression parameters when the audio signal is below the adjusted compression threshold.

A side-port piezoelectric microelectromechanical system microphone package includes a microelectromechanical system die disposed on the microphone substrate and including a microphone membrane and a membrane support substrate, the microphone membrane being disposed on a wall of a membrane support substrate, and an acoustic port defined by an aperture passing through a portion of the wall of the membrane support substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a hearing device having a microphone, where most of the microphone is shielded by an outer shielding of the hearing device. An inlet in the outer shielding allows sound from outside the hearing aid to travel to the microphone to be picked up by it. However, the combination of the microphone and the inlet results in the microphone becoming more sensitive at some audible frequencies. A damping filter positioned in connection with the inlet acts to counter the acoustic effect of the inlet by damping sound in the audible frequency range, where the microphone has increased sensitivity.

A microphone system, comprises a first transducer, for generating a first acoustic signal, and a second transducer, for generating a second acoustic signal. A high-pass filter receives the first signal and generates a first filtered signal, and a low-pass filter receives the second signal and generates a second filtered signal. An adder forms an output signal of the microphone system as a sum of the first filtered signal and the second filtered signal.
