ADAPTING SIBILANCE DETECTION BASED ON DETECTING SPECIFIC SOUNDS IN AN AUDIO SIGNAL

A method is disclosed herein for adapting parameters of a sibilance detector. Time-frequency features are extracted from an audio signal being received and. Based on those time-frequency features, a determination is made of whether the audio signal includes a short-term feature or a long-term feature. In accordance with determining that the audio signal includes the short-term feature or the long-term feature, one or more parameters of a sibilance detector for detecting sibilance in the audio signal are adapted. Sibilance in the audio signal, is detected using the sibilance detector with the one or more adapted parameters.
