The power level of consonants has been shown to be important for speech intelligibility. In single-channel noise reduction systems however these sounds are frequently severely attenuated. The main reasons for this are an insufficient temporal resolution of transient sounds and a delayed tracking of important control parameters. The key idea of the proposed system is the detection of non-stationary input data. Depending on that decision a pair of spectral analysis-synthesis windows is selected which either provides high temporal or high spectral resolution. Furthermore the decision-directed approach for the estimation of the a priori SNR is modified so that speech onsets are tracked more quickly without sacrificing performance in stationary signal regions. The proposed solution shows significant improvements in the preservation of stops with an overall system delay input-output excluding group delay of noise reduction filter of only 10 milliseconds.
